S, ANGIE
We’re excited that you’re considering
spending time with us this summer. YMCA
summer day camps are fun and safe places
that allow young people the chance to
explore new things as they discover who
they are and what they can achieve.
Whether at YMCA Camp Hyde or one of our
other exciting camp locations, your camper
will enjoy new experiences and build new
relationships every day. Plus, each and
every camp activity is focused on helping
your child develop better skills, stronger
values and positive lifelong behaviors.
That’s why this summer will be your
camper’s best summer ever.
Our veteran staff have put together 12
exciting, fun-filled weeks that are geared
towards making your child’s summer a
magical and memorable experience. From
building positive role models through
weekly bully busters and character
challenges, to staying healthy and active
through things like swimming and field
games, your camper will be turning summer
fun into life lessons.

competent camp counselors will be working
hard to ensure that activities foster
positive group and individual experiences
for your child.

in ways I had hoped. Thanks for making it
a truly positive experience and for helping
children develop with good skills and values.
