With the Northeast Family Branch YMCA, you are participating in a camping program you can count on, not just for great supervision and safety, but for the personal growth of your child. We work hard to select leaders who will be positive adult role models for your child and who have demonstrated responsibility, maturity, and reliability. Our attention to safety and the campers' health has resulted in a safety record that any organization would be delighted to match. Beyond safety and good supervision, we believe that special, positive, and growth-filled opportunities await every child who attends the Y Camps. Our motivating theme for camp this year is Free To Be Me. We will provide opportunities for your child to express their individuality, talents, and creativity while learning to respect the uniqueness of others. We look forward to providing a quality camp experience for your family.In service,2012 Camp Leadership Staff

WHY YOUR CHILD BELONGS AT THE Y:
Our core values. We make our core values—caring, honesty, respect and responsibility—part of everything we do.
Our commitment. We plan our programs around essential elements to help kids grow up caring and responsible. We call these elements “Developmental Assets.”
Our staff. We develop ours to develop yours. What’s the key ingredient to a great camp? Great counselors! We start by hiring counselors with excellent character, strong values, enthusiasm and experience working with kids. Before camp starts, we add to their skills with more than 30 hours of instruction in trainings such as child development, first aid and conflict resolution.
Our pledge. We are dedicated to making you and your child’s experiences at the Y extraordinary. At the end of the day, your child will come home with stories of a fun-filled and fabulous day.
