Program Guide Summer 2014 | Page 6

2014 January June As a family wellness and community organization we open our doors and invite the community to see what we’re all about. This is a great opportunity to get to know all the Y has to offer and maybe try something new. Summer kicks off with our Summer Camp Programs: Day Camps, Sports Camps, Specialty Camps, and Resident Camps make up what the YMCA does best. Registration starts in March so be sure to make it out to our Camp Registration Carnival. OPEN HOUSE SUMMER CAMP STARTS February July Our annual fund-raising campaign is a joint effort between staff and volunteers who come together to raise funds which help support community families, seniors and individuals by providing them financial assistance. Financial assistance helps provide an opportunity to participate in child care, camps, aquatics, youth sports and memberships. Campaign funds are also used to subsidize programs to make them affordable to everyone. Come away with the Y! Week long camps set in beautiful locations where campers share cabins with friends and make lasting memories. Activities include archery, dances, swimming, hiking, crafts, rock wall climbing, campfires, the Y Rags and Leather program and more. Sign your child up for a life changing experience!
