Camp Philosophy
We recognize that kids need a safe and
stimulating environment during the summer
where they can develop skills, have fun, and
build positive relationships with peers and
adults. All Y staff foster this by providing
creative, age-appropriate and safe activities
that promote social, physical, intellectual and
emotional growth with an emphasis on fun.
