| YMCA SUMMER CAMP 2014 | | |
Make the most of summer! Give your child an adventurous, active and healthy summer. The Luter Family YMCA Summer Camp provides a fun and unique experience that gives children and teens the opportunity to explore the outdoors, meet new friends, discover new interests and create memories that last a lifetime.
Brandon Fry, Youth and Family Program Director, says there are three reasons why your child should attend summer camp:
- Y camp is all about youth development. Amidst the fun of camp games, songs and swimming, campers meet new friends and strengthen existing friendships.
- Y camp is all about healthy living. Your child's day will be filled with healthy, physical activity, a departure of screen time, and a chance to enjoy the outdoors safely.
- Y camp is all about social responsibility. We give your child a chance to develop confidence and independence by taking on new responsibilities and challenges.
As a leading nonprofit committed to nurturing the potential of youth, the Y has been a leader in providing summer camp for nearly 130 years. Dowload a camp brochure here, email Brandon Fry, or visit www.peninsulaymca.org for more information.
Join us for a summer of smiles and a lifetime of memories.

| APRIL IS VOLUNTEER MONTH | |
Volunteer of the Year 2013 - Please join us in thanking Julie  Carneal for being the Volunteer of the Year. " At the Y, I found a place that nurtured and believed in building spirit, mind, and body for all; I began volunteering to help the Y reach these goals. At the Y, I have found friendship that has clarified why we are here...to help others. I am humbled to be part of the Y family," -Julie Carneal
Upcoming Volunteer Opportunities:
- Smithfield Sprint Triathlon. Saturday, April 5th, we are hosting the Smithfield Sprint. Your investment of a few hours of volunteer time will gain the Y a donation to benefit our Guardian financial assistance program.
- Healthy Kids Day. Friday, April 26th, we are having a Healthy Kids Day bash at the Y starting at 6:00 p.m.. Would you like to help?
If you would like details about these or future volunteer opportunities please contact Connie Chapman.
Running for a Reason - Y member Darrell Nagy will run the Boston Marathon in April. He's not running for  just his health; he's running for the children of Isle of Wight County. Darrell has set a goal to raise tax-deductible donations for the Y's Bright Beginnings program which provides children with needed clothing and shoes for school.
To learn more about this remarkable volunteer please take a brochure available in the lobby.
