Ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes to keep our pool safe, clean, and ready for swimmers? 🏊

This is a look at how our aquatics team keeps the pool running from changing rooms to lifeguard sheds and maintaining a safe environment for everyone who visits.

A lot happens beyond what you see on the surface, and it all plays a role in creating a fun, safe, and enjoyable experience for our community😊

Because a safe pool is more than just clear water 💗🌷

WHO ARE YOU PASSING THE PHONE TO??

Passing the phone to the coworkers who somehow survived another camp season together on caffeine, snacks, inside jokes, and pure determination. 😂

We are still trying to get rhino to love the goats 🥲😌

🌍 Global Leadership. Local Impact.

We’re proud to share that our very own Eddie Norgard, District Executive Director, was selected to represent YMCA Camp Carter on the global stage at Campacity in Sweden back in April!

This international experience brought together YMCA leaders from around the world to collaborate, learn, and reimagine what camp can be for the next generation. Eddie’s selection is not only a reflection of his leadership, it’s a testament to the incredible work happening right here at Camp Carter.

From Fort Worth to Sweden and back, we’re excited to see how this global perspective continues to shape meaningful, life-changing experiences for the youth and families we serve.

Learn more about his experience here:

At the Y, you’ll find countless opportunities to get moving and experience the joy of better health. All it takes is one first step!

This summer, we’re proud to partner with MPower Girls Camp to make camp possible for 15 incredible girls from Dallas.

Through the generosity of our donors, these campers are receiving significant scholarships to attend Overnight Camp removing financial barriers and opening the door to a life-changing experience.

Recently, the girls took part in one of their most beloved traditions: the pre-camp shopping trip.

For many of these girls, it’s the first time they’ve been able to prepare for something like this, to choose items that say, “I belong here.”

Because of our community’s support, every one of these campers will arrive at Camp Carter feeling prepared, confident, and ready to fully participate. To our donors and partners, thank you for making this possible. You’re not just sending kids to camp. You’re helping shape futures.
