ANNUAL REPORT

FROST VALLEY YMCA

1 | frostvalley.org

GROW. THRIVE. TRANSFORM. Our donors support Frost Valley YMCA because they know that when a camper arrives here, he or she will grow. Families visit us with the promise that they will thrive here. Teachers bring their students to the Valley for a class-wide transformation. However, when these individuals and groups make the choice to come to here, we never quite know what will blossom when that seed is planted.

When DeQuan Foster, a frequent target of bullying at school, received his campership to spend his first summer away from home, a seed was planted. Another was planted when Carolyn Birardi first gathered at her local YMCA with a group of strangers, who would eventually celebrate their winning battles with cancer during a trip to Frost Valley. And yet another, when Trish Washburn first imagined a weekend where other families affected by autism could receive respite and support in the idyllic beauty of the Catskill Mountains. Over the course of this past year, 35,000 other seeds with unimaginable potential for growth were planted as plans were made to come to Frost Valley.

We invite you to read within this annual report these and other stories of how the YMCA’s three areas of focus, Youth Development, Healthy Living, and Social Responsibility, all contribute to the cultivation of a garden that blooms beyond what we could have ever imagined. DeQuan’s first summer here wasn’t the end of his Frost Valley journey – it multiplied into many more summers of growth and leadership. Carolyn gained more than emotional healing from cancer – she developed bonds that transcend a lifetime. Trish not only began a tradition we hope will last for years to come – she contributed to giving other families a time just for them, to take root and blossom.

Beyond anything we can imagine, for more than 100 years, what our donors and staff have sown continues to grow into a colorful garden for countless individuals to flourish. As you’ll see throughout this annual report, our donors are the roots – often unseen, yet vital to growth – supporting everything that happens here. Thank you for the invaluable role you’ve played in cultivating thousands of stories of transformation in 2013.

FROM CAMPER TO COUNSELOR Each summer, Frost Valley partners with organizations in Newark New Jersey, who support our goal to serve all children, regardless of their family’s financial situation. Organizations like the Boys and Girls Club, the Prudential Foundation, and the Victoria Foundation help give children in the city a summer camp experience, where they are free to run in green fields, explore wild forests, learn from positive role models, and join a diverse group of friends who open their eyes to a world they might not have known existed.

This year, Frost Valley watched these partnerships come full circle for the very first time. But we could have never known this when DeQuan Foster first came to camp in 2006 through the Newark partnership. At school, he was the target of bullying – simply for wearing glasses. A summer in the Valley rich with our eight core values, teambuilding experiences like high ropes, making healthy friendships and being guided by counselors who exemplify leadership, allowed him to go back to school in September fueled with the confidence to run for vice president of the student government.

Soon after winning that election, DeQuan was elected Youth of the Year by the Boys and Girls Club of Newark. After a transformation such as this, being bullied for wearing glasses would be long forgotten for most teens.

But DeQuan understood the significance of the gift he was given, and he carried that with him into young adulthood…

At the young age of 17, DeQuan Foster co-founded an independent publishing company, Brickhouse Publishing, of which he is the Chief Creative Officer. Before long, he had published his first novel, The Twelve. He credits these impressive achievements to that campership back in 2006, which first gave him a Frost Valley YMCA summer camp experience. According to DeQuan: “Frost Valley helped me grow as an individual, taught me not to be afraid, and gave me the courage to try. That’s how you overcome obstacles. During my first summer I felt brave enough to share my ideas for stories with campers and counselors. I was embraced and they encouraged me! Were it not for that encouragement, I might not have valued my writing. I published my first book in 2012, my second in May 2014. Frost Valley is the one place in the world where I felt I succeeded every single year. I don’t think I’d be the individual I am today without Frost Valley. If you’re lucky enough to end up at Frost Valley, you’re one of the luckiest people in the world.”

Now a student at the New York Film Academy, with goals of writing and directing films some day, DeQuan Foster is the first alumnus of our Newark partnerships to return to the Valley as a counselor. Just as a flower leaves seeds for new flowers to blossom, the impact of our generous donors never seems to have an end. The support DeQuan received in 2006 is impacting lives today and will certainly continue for many, many years to come.

“I want to give back to the other kids like me.

There’s still so much to learn and to be gained from being at Frost Valley.”

I encourage other survivors to take that first step off the platform, high atop the zipline, and live life to its fullest!

– Carolyn Birardi, cancer survivor & LIVESTRONG at the YMCA guest

HEALTHY LIVING

FROM SURVIVING TO LIVING People of all ages, with a variety of needs, and from all walks of life come to Frost Valley YMCA and their lives are forever changed thanks to our generous community of donors, a strong support system committed to watching individuals grow.

Carolyn Birardi, who has been a cancer survivor for 26 years, is one such individual whose life has been changed thanks to her motivated spirit, the kindness of new friends, and the experiences she had here in the Valley. Through her involvement with the Metuchen YMCA in New Jersey, Carolyn joined a LIVESTRONG® cancer survivor’s group about three years ago – a decision that would blossom into life affirming impact.

Frost Valley’s partnership with LIVESTRONG fulfills the important need of supporting the increasing number of cancer survivors in the transitional period between completing their cancer treatment and the shift to feeling physically and emotionally strong enough to attempt to return to their normal lives.

Each year, the Metuchen group comes to Frost Valley’s LIVESTRONG weekends. And after becoming close with two other cancer survivors, Carolyn was eager to make her first trip here. However, when she arrived, camp seemed oddly quiet. Nonetheless, the women were determined to embark on their first adventure, so they headed to the evening’s scheduled Hayride.

Carolyn and her two friends again found it strange that no other guests were joining them on the hayride, but after talking with staff they learned snow was headed for the area, and assumed other guests had chosen to stay indoors. These strong women – who had beat cancer – weren’t going to let a little snow stop them! So they headed out for a bumpy ride through the woods on a brisk October night. Just as they were heading back to main camp, fluffy white flurries began to fall as they made their way to the dining hall for some snacks and board games.

And that’s when the three women learned the full impact of a LIVESTRONG weekend at Frost Valley…

This seemingly inconsequential evening in the dining hall was where Carolyn and her friends met other cancer survivors, with whom they quickly bonded over silly games and plenty of laughter.

The group that formed barely noticed as the snow worsened outside. Carolyn says, “We had so much fun – we stayed up practically all night!”

As the women made their way back to the lodge, Carolyn sensed the formation of lifelong bonds and memories. She didn’t realize however, that this would turn out to be just one of many trips for her to Frost Valley’s LIVESTRONG weekends.

Carolyn now recalls the time she came back to Frost Valley without one of her closest friends whom she met at her LIVESTRONG group, yet who had relapsed and become too ill to make another trip back to the Valley. She says, “We always booked her a reservation, but I don’t know how many more times she was able to come back. I decided to do the zipline one weekend and up at the top, I said a prayer for her. When I came home and visited her in the hospital, I told her all about it – she thanked me for that. Frost Valley really meant a lot to her.”

Sadly, Carolyn’s friend passed away last fall from cancer. And at a memorial service held by her LIVESTRONG group, Carolyn was asked to give a speech in her memory. Carolyn says, “I’d never been in front of a microphone, but I just told the story about camp. I told them about the hayride and the snow and the games in the dining hall. It was just a speech from my heart.”

The seed that was planted when Frost Valley formed the LIVESTRONG partnership grew into something bigger than any of us could have imagined.

These strong men and women come to Frost Valley YMCA free of charge. While here, survivors like Carolyn enjoy the natural splendor of the Valley, take healthy risks like going down the zipline, and nurture their Spirit, Mind and Body in classes like stretch and relaxation.

But for Carolyn and other LIVESTRONG guests, this gift is more than a way to heal from cancer – it’s also a way to heal from grief. Now Carolyn says, “I encourage other survivors to take that first step off the platform, high atop the zipline, and live life to its fullest!”

FROM CAREGIVING TO CARED FOR “Sometimes I think I’ve bitten off more than I can chew,” says Betty Knack, 78, who cares for her aging companion by cooking, cleaning and driving him to doctors appointments for a variety of ailments. “There’s no outside help. I’m it.”

Bonnie Lewis, the Caregiver Resource Center Coordinator at Cornell Cooperative Extension in Sullivan County, and Donna Davies, a Care Consultant for the Alzheimer’s Association, listen to statements like Betty’s all too often. Bonnie says, “Caregivers have this 24/7 commitment to caring for an individual, but they never get time for themselves, or know how to get respite care, or even that it’s actually okay to ask for respite. We knew they could get the healing they needed at Frost Valley.”

That’s why Bonnie wanted to give the caregivers in her program a day to “just let their hair down and relax.” She says, “Frost Valley picked up the ball and ran with it.”

Bonnie, along with Frost Valley’s staff, planned a day trip for caregivers to enjoy the beautiful scenery here; learn about stress-reduction techniques such as exercise, art, and music; and spend time with other caregivers who share and understand their experience.

Yet, no one could have planned for an unexpected glimpse into the power of this special day to transcend the obstacles these caregivers face…

One caregiver, Mary, was not able to find respite care for her husband, who suffers from fairly advanced memory loss due to dementia.

Fortunately, Frost Valley’s medical staff was able to provide on-site care and activities for him so that Mary could enjoy a well-deserved day just for her.

Mary and the other caregivers took full advantage of this much-needed day of relaxation and support. They enjoyed the healing and soothing sounds of Jan Hirsch, a certified therapeutic harp practitioner, and Audrey Zybura, a student music therapist, who played for the participants during an outdoor lunch. Capoeria instructor Sarah Bergstein led a fitness class for the caregivers to take some time to focus on their own health. The group also enjoyed arts and crafts, walking along the trails, and simply relaxing in the sunshine.

By the end of the day, Mary found the experience to be just what she needed, even though she was hesitant at first. Although Mary and her husband had been to Frost Valley years ago and cherished many weekends cross-country skiing here, she was nervous about taking him away from their home, given his condition. But on the morning of the trip, she recognized an old spark in his eye – one she hadn’t seen in a while since his dementia was growing worse and worse. Yet much to her surprise, he went into a closet and came out with his old Frost Valley hat. Although he may not have been able to articulate why, Mary says it was clear he wanted to wear it for their trip back to the place that was so valuable to them both.

Mary was able to share this story with Bonnie, Donna, and the other caregivers, reminding everyone that despite the daily struggle of caregiving, some memories never fade.

FROM ADVENTURES FOR TEENS TO HOMES FOR FAMILIES Each summer, our Adventure Trips program offers teens a new view of the world. For many, the view is a scenic vista atop a mountain in Arcadia National Park, Maine, giving campers a sense of place in the world. For others it’s the rushing white waters of West Virginia’s rapids, offering an opportunity for teens to take healthy risks and overcome obstacles. And for some, it’s seeing their own character grow and blossom by giving back to communities and families in need.

It all starts on check-in day, an exciting day for overnight campers – the smell of sunscreen in the air, parents tearfully kissing their children goodbye, former campers excitedly re-uniting as if no time had passed at all, and counselors introducing themselves to their new charge who will, in a matter of days, see them as role models.

This year, our Habitat for Humanity Adventure Trip began just like this – hardly different than years past.

The campers arrived and soon headed to the gear room to load up their packs, which would store all of their belongings for the next two weeks. After carefully stowing away tents, sleeping bags, headlamps, and other necessities, campers enjoyed one night under the stars at our new lean-tos in Adventure Village here on main camp.

The next two weeks would go beyond exploration and adventure and into lasting impact for those in need…

Frost Valley’s Habitat for Humanity trips have historically been and continue to flourish as a service opportunity for teens looking to give back. This year, two trips were focused on preparing for the grand opening of the Habitat for Humanity Kingston & Frontenac ReStore.

The campers spent their session painting, spackling, clearing out weeds, planting flowers, and even making a sign for the store’s opening day, which was a huge success in the fall.

“This store is hopefully going to help us build 3-5 houses a year,” says Gary Heckleman, Ulster County Habitat for Humanity’s associate site director.

When customers buy the gently used merchandise, which includes kitchen counter tops, flooring, sofas, lamps, and everything in between, their dollars go toward building homes for families in need. The store’s merchandise is available to the public, a great way to learn about Habitat for Humanity’s mission, shop for hard-to-find treasures, and give back.

Every family deserves a safe place to call home, and our campers helped prepare for the store’s grand opening with this in mind. On that day alone Gary says, “We raised enough money to put windows, doors and a kitchen in our current building project.” Those are windows for a mother to watch her children play outside, doors to keep them safe at night, and a kitchen for a family to enjoy meals together.

FROM AN IDEA TO AN INSPIRATION For Trish Washburn, raising two children with autism meant that family getaways were often rare. Unfortunately, the world can be a very confusing place for her outgoing 11 year-old daughter, CJ, and her imaginative 13 year-old son, Buddy, but what really makes vacations so difficult is that society is sometimes not as inclusive as we would hope.

Determined to give her children every experience integral to a happy and healthy upbringing, Trish brought her family to Frost Valley for one weekend several years ago because she knew what a special place it was for her father as a young Boy Scout. To see her children play outdoors and spend quality time together without distractions like TV and video games inspired her to come back for another trip later that year.

And that was when a seed was planted – an idea that would take root and impact lives beyond what Trish or any of us could have ever imagined...

What started as a simple letter from Trish to Frost Valley, suggesting that we host a weekend solely for families affected by autism, grew into a new tradition that will change lives for generations to come.

“I didn’t expect anything to actually happen when I wrote the letter,” says Trish. “I’ve made lots of suggestions to other organizations, and I never hear anything back. So when Frost Valley said they wanted to actually do it, I was so surprised!”

Trish’s firsthand knowledge of the hardships, fears, and obstacles families affected by autism encounter allowed the Frost Valley staff to partner with her and plan two weekends, one in April and one in June, that would offer families support from others who understand and deliver programs led by staff educated about autism and trained to provide an ideal environment. During these special weekends, the individual with autism always joins us at no charge. But what none of us could have predicted was the lasting effect these weekends would have on the families who attended.

One such family are parents Kim and Jim, who live locally and were especially interested in the Autism Family Support Weekend, which could serve as an introductory experience for their five year-old son Logan, who has Asperger’s (a disorder on the autism spectrum) and was registered to come to Frost Valley’s Day Camp inclusion program the following summer.

Unsure of what to expect or if Frost Valley would be a good fit, Kim, Jim and Logan were soon opened to a world they never knew existed – one where differences are celebrated, unique needs are accommodated, and everyone is welcomed with a smile. When Logan was getting ready to leave after a fun-filled three days, he looked at his parents and said, “I want to LIVE at Frost Valley!”

Months later when day camp began, his experience proved to be just as transformative. Kim says, “Each day, he came home with problem solving strategies he didn’t have before. He’s more social and more flexible with his routine.

He definitely learned that at camp!”

For parents like Kim, Jim, and Trish, the opportunities to experience the joys we all deserve – like watching our children laugh in a canoe or reach the top of the climbing tower – can seem like just a fantasy.

However, Frost Valley’s donor community affords us the opportunity to see past limitations and provide life-changing experiences with a caring and inclusive attitude. What started as a simple suggestion grew into immeasurable growth for dozens of children and their parents and countless more to come.

In the words of Logan’s mother, Kim, “Sometimes the little things are really the big things.”

ANNUAL GIVING

Like the roots of the trees in our forests, the donors who support Frost Valley YMCA’s Annual Giving Campaign are vital to our growth, ensuring all children and families can participate in our programs. Without the generous support of donors like you, we would not be able to provide financial assistance to those in need. Thousands would miss out on the joy of exploring the wilderness, laughing with friends in a cabin, or making memories around a campfire.

PROJECT 332

Project 332 is an integral part of our Annual Giving Campaign. Through this initiative, over 500 children experience the wonders of Frost Valley YMCA each year.
