Letter from Camp Leadership
With the Alabaster YMCA you are participating in a camping program you can count on, not just for good 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, the YMCA believes that special, positive, and growth filled opportunities await every child who attends the Y Camp.
We look forward to providing a quality camp experience for your family.
