Dear YMCA Day Camp Families:

 

As you know, summer is fast approaching. Our YMCA Day Camp Team has been working very hard preparing for a great summer full of adventures, learning and as always, fun!

 

Many of you responded to our Day Camp Experience Survey sent out last fall. We studied it and we listened. We will continue to provide fun and healthy activities where children have the opportunities to make new friends and catch up with old friends. Children will be encouraged to try new activities to experience growth and success. We will continue to focus on our four core values: caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.

 

Of course, there is always room for improvement, and we are looking to add educational components into our daily routine as we are very aware of summer learning loss and want to be proactive in prevention techniques. This summer you will see weekly Healthy Family Newsletters with great ideas for leading a more balanced and healthy lifestyle. Also, we don't want to forget to put the "C" in the YMCA. We will begin each day with a devotional message and implement a values-based recognition program.

 

We hope to see all of you back this summer. We also look forward to seeing our returning campers and getting to know new campers. We are lucky to be able to build long lasting relationships with our families during our summer seasons.

 

Please note that on Saturday April 26th we will have Open Houses at all three YMCA locations from 10am - Noon. Come and join us, sign up, receive a free camp T-shirt, bring your questions, and say hi. Visit our website (www.ymcaspokane.org) for times and more information.

   

 

Sincerely,

Connie Reynolds
Association Director Child Care, School Age and Day Camps
