The Dye Clay Family YMCA is offering summer camp for kids between the ages of 4 and 15. Camp started on June 8, but spaces are still available for the remaining weeks! We have planned weekly field trips, theme weeks, earth-friendly activities and so much more to keep your kids active this summer. We will also have a drop-off site at the Kirkwood Presbyterian Church in Argyle. Kids will then be transported by bus to camp at the Dye Clay Family YMCA.

Volunteer Spotlight 
 
Citizen of the YearDr. Greg Archambault, a member and long-time volunteer basketball coach, received the Orange Park Rotary Club's 2008-2009 Citizen of the Year Award. Dr. Archambault was the driving force behind the establishment of a free dental clinic in Green Cove Springs. The clinic, which was established through the Clay County Dental Society, with the aid of numerous donations, provides free dental care every Friday to qualifying low-income patients. During his spare time, Dr. Archambault, who has coached at the Dye Clay Family YMCA for 10 years, can be found shooting hoops on our courts. Be sure to thank this wonderful man for his dedication to our community!
