Camp Sponsors:
Dear Parent/Guardian,
Thank you for your interest in the Y summer camp program. We are constantly self
assessing and improving our offerings in order to provide your child with the most
positive experience possible. Many hours are spent during the non-summer months to
ensure that all of the themes, games, and activities are well thought out and properly
developed, in order to ensure that your child is having the best summer ever! However,
beyond the fun and excitement, much time is spent to ensure that we are focusing on
Youth Development at camp. The definition of Youth Development is the social-emotional, cognitive, and
physical processes that all youth uniquely experience from birth to career. A successful development process
fulfills children and teens innate need to be loved, spiritually grounded, educated, competent, and healthy.
To ensure that we are making this positive impact on your child, Friendship, Accomplishment, and Belonging
are constant themes at camp. Whether you plan on sending your child for one week of morning archery or 10
weeks of Traditional Camp, your child will learn a new skill, make a new friend, and feel safe while doing so.
I look forward to seeing you this summer!
