Camping, like many Y programs, is about developing character, learning skills, and making friends. But few environments are as special as camp. Camp is where kids become a
community as they learn both how to be more independent
and how to contribute to a group as they engage in physical,
social and educational activities.
Camping teaches self-reliance, love for nature and the outdoors. Kids will develop attitudes and practices that build
character and leadership–all amidst the fun of camp fires,
capture the flag, creek walks, talent shows and meaningful
relationships.
YMCA Counselors are dedicated to making sure
camp is an amazing experience for every camper.
The YMCA incorporates our five core values of caring, honesty,
respect, responsibility and faith into every YMCA program. Camp
in particular emphasizes these unique components to help children develop positive identities, values and social skills. These
are essential to character building blocks that nurture and empower young people to grow up to be healthy, competent, caring
and responsible adults.
Our goal is to help youngsters acquire these building blocks to
create a firm foundation for life-a positive
identity, a strong sense of power, purpose and self-worth; and
values that will enable them to make wise choices throughout life.
We want to help them become
compassionate, well rounded and well-adjusted individuals who
care about the well-being of others and learn to place the needs
of others above their own.
Every child deserves to
go to camp!
Every year hundreds of families across our
region are in need of financial assistance in
order to send their children to camp. The Y’s
annual giving campaign provides financial
assistance to families who want to give their
children a safe, enriching summer but can’t
afford it. Please give if you can help.
Give today at ymcacecil.org
THANK YOU!

assistance application or pick one up at the
member service desk.
Camping is about learning skills, developing character and making friends.
Top Quality
To achieve high quality in our programs, we follow YMCA of the USA’s
Day Camp
Guidelines, found in the YMCA Day
Camp Manual. The components of
sports, the arts, swimming and character development education are offered
with a significant amount of outdoor
programming.
YMCA Membership
Save big on summer camp and enjoy
family fun all year long!
Y members save on summer camp programs, on
average from $20 to $50/week less than the
general public. That’s a savings of up to $200 to
$500 over the course of the summer! Plus,
members get full access to our wellness equipment, 2 pools, bounce center, gymnasiums, racquetball courts and free babysitting.
Our Staff
The loyalty and dedication of our
impassioned, educated and highly
trained staff is extraordinary. Our
staff are
excellent role models for our campers
and we pride ourselves on our careful
screening and selection to employ the
finest camp counselors, directors and
support staff in the region.
With no long-term contracts and interest free
monthly membership dues, joining the Y just
makes sense, especially when you register two or
more kids for summer camp!
Candidates must meet strict YMCA qualifications, which meet and
often exceed licensing standards and YMCA Child Care Administrative policies; pass a criminal and Child Protective Services
check.

IT’S NOT TOO EARLY TO THINK ABOUT SCHOOL-AGE CHILD CARE.
We believe that all kids deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve. That’s
why through the Y, many youth in Cecil County are cultivating the values, skills and relationships that lead to
positive behaviors, better health and educational achievement.
With a focus on safety, health, social growth and academic enhancement, our before and after school programs
serve children with options to explore and develop their interests and talents. The Y provides a quality, safe
place for children to go so that parents have the freedom to work or study, knowing that their children’s needs
are being addressed. Our flexible schedule allows each child to choose activities. Call the Y today for your
school’s enrollment update! 410-392-9622 Limited Space Available.
