OUR PHILOSOPHY<br />
The Brandywine Y believes in providing comprehensive<br />
camp programs, which foster <strong>the</strong> social, cultural, physical<br />
and emotional development <strong>of</strong> children <strong>of</strong> all ages. All<br />
activities reflect <strong>the</strong> character values <strong>of</strong> caring, honesty<br />
respect and responsibility. We create an opportunity for<br />
children to enhance <strong>the</strong>ir self esteem, build friendship<br />
skills, develop greater independence and give <strong>the</strong>m a<br />
sense <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir creative potential in a safe, fun and<br />
nurturing environment.<br />
DEAR PARENTS,<br />
The Y has over 50 years experience in <strong>the</strong> camping business.<br />
Your child’s safety and self-esteem is a tremendous<br />
responsibility and high priority in all <strong>of</strong> our programs. The<br />
Brandywine Y Camp Leadership Team knows how much<br />
impact camp can have on a child’s life and for that reason<br />
we take our career choice and responsibilities very seriiously.<br />
Our camp team works year-round to maintain <strong>the</strong><br />
best camp traditions and experiences, and hire and<br />
train <strong>the</strong> best staff available to guide your children. Our<br />
goal is to create opportunities for campers to enhance<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir self esteem, build friendship skills, develop greater<br />
independence, tap into <strong>the</strong>ir creative potential and most<br />
<strong>of</strong> all to be silly and have fun. We are thrilled your family<br />
has chosen to share a part <strong>of</strong> your summer with us. We<br />
hope to challenge your child to try new things, enjoy new<br />
physical and creative activities, and create friendships<br />
and memories that will last a lifetime. We enjoy hearing<br />
from you and welcome your comments, concerns and<br />
suggestions. Toge<strong>the</strong>r we can learn, share and improve<br />
<strong>the</strong> camp experience for all involved.<br />

HANBY POOL<br />
Every camper who attends camp at <strong>the</strong> Hanby Outdoor Center will have <strong>the</strong> opportunity to swim in <strong>the</strong> refreshing Olympic size swimming<br />
pool during <strong>the</strong>ir day at camp. Some campers take swimming lessons, while o<strong>the</strong>rs will enjoy free swim. Every child will have <strong>the</strong> opportunity<br />
to swim in <strong>the</strong> afternoon and cool <strong>of</strong>f from a fun day at camp<br />
At <strong>the</strong> Brandywine Y, we take <strong>the</strong> safety <strong>of</strong> our<br />
aquatic facility very seriously. Swimming lessons are taught<br />
by licensed guards. The pool is guarded by lifeguards who attend<br />
weekly in-service training to maintain <strong>the</strong>ir skills in <strong>the</strong> event <strong>of</strong><br />
an emergency. During free swims, we have lifeguards<br />
managing <strong>the</strong> pool in addition to support from camp counselors<br />
and supervisors. Each camper has <strong>the</strong>ir skills assessed on <strong>the</strong><br />
first day <strong>of</strong> each session to determine <strong>the</strong>ir swimming level<br />
and are assigned a bracelet based on his/her skills.<br />
Once everyone knows <strong>the</strong> rules <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> pool and we have assessed<br />
everyone’s skills, <strong>the</strong> FUN BEGINS and does not end until <strong>the</strong> end<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> camp season in August.<br />
THE OUTDOOR POOL IS OPEN TO MEMBERS<br />
Monday through Friday 1:15 – 8:00 pm<br />
Saturday and Sunday 10:00 am – 8:00 pm<br />
Please be aware that Monday-Friday <strong>the</strong>re will be times you will be sharing <strong>the</strong> pool with <strong>the</strong> campers.<br />
THE SLIDE IS A HIGHLIGHT<br />
OF OUR OUTDOOR POOL.<br />
In order to go down <strong>the</strong> slide during <strong>the</strong> camp<br />
day, campers will be asked to take a test. While this can be<br />
a little scary for some but it is necessary to ensure <strong>the</strong> safety<br />
<strong>of</strong> anyone going down <strong>the</strong> slide. The slide does have a current,<br />
and we need to make sure that every person using <strong>the</strong> slide<br />
is a strong swimmer.<br />
Before using <strong>the</strong> slide, each camper will be asked to<br />
• jump into 5 feet <strong>of</strong> water<br />
• swim <strong>the</strong> length <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> pool<br />
• tread or float for 30 seconds<br />
After successful completion <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> swim test, <strong>the</strong> camper<br />
receives a green band and can use <strong>the</strong> slide!<br />
