“Some of the important lessons I learned at YMCA summer camp was learning to respect everyone, getting along and including everyone when we played games and activities.” -D. Ford “My favorite YMCA camp experience was meeting new friends and making new friends” -S. Crotty “I feel like the camp counselors make it more fun and it keeps me wanting to come back every year. I like the variety of things camp offers and if we didn’t understand how to do something, the counselors helped me figure out a way to do it.” -H Simon
