Dear Campers and Parents, Thank you for allowing your child to share their summer with the Monroe County YMCA! Summer Camp is so much more than fun in the sun. At the Y, we provide an exciting and safe community for young people to explore the outdoors, build self-esteem, develop interpersonal skills, make lasting friends, and more. Our counselors are wonderful role models, selected based on their experience, attitude, interpersonal skills, and enthusiasm. They genuinely care about the individual development of each camper, helping them learn to live and work together as a community throughout the summer. All staff are CPR and First Aid certified, and are additionally trained in risk management, child abuse prevention, behavior management, character development, and team building. We are excited to see so many returning faces, and we are ready to welcome and embrace the newcomers to Summer Camp at the Monroe County YMCA. Please donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hesitate to contact any of our directors and/or coordinators directly through email or by phone with any questions you have regarding camp. We look forward to working together and having the Best. Summer. EVER!
