Camp check, everybody! ✅☀️

Before another day of fun at YMCA Summer Camp, our campers make sure they've got the essentials:

👕 Camp shirt (on field trip days)
💙 A positive attitude
💧 Water bottle
✨ Stickers for extra style

And most importantly… bring your best camp energy!

At Y Summer Camp, caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility are always packed and ready to go. From making new friends to creating unforgettable memories, every day at camp is an adventure!

🦙☀️ Just another normal day at Y Camp.🦙☀️

While one of our camp groups was visiting Yaya's Alpaca Farm on Wednesday, a baby alpaca was born! Talk about being in the right place at the right time.

Summer at the Y is full of surprises, new experiences, and stories that sound almost too good to be true... but this one really happened.

💙 Most Kids Don't Get This Kind of Support. Ours Do.

In this clip from Warning: This Story May Change You, Genevieve Muncy shares the impact of having one of the few YMCA behavioral health teams doing intervention work directly inside our youth programs, camps and childcare.

Because creating spaces for all kids takes more than good intentions. It takes training, support, understanding and adults willing to lead with empathy.

At the Y, inclusion is not an add-on. It’s part of how we build stronger kids, families and communities together.
