Camp
YMCA Camp takes you back to tradition - an exciting full-day camping experience for boys and girls ages 5 through 13. Swimming, camp songs, assemblies, spirit sticks, family nights, field trips and D.E.A.R. (drop everything and read) are just a few of the ways we build traditions. What else make YMCA camps so special? Values - Caring, Honesty, Respect, Responsibility and Faith are the cornerstones of the program. This year, we will incorporate fun activities from kid-friendly websites such as funology.com and discoverykids.com.
In addition, the YMCA adds a unique component to help children develop positive identities, values and social skills. That component is known as "Developmental Assets." These are 40 essential character-building blocks that young people need 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.
