CAMP TESTIMONIAL, SARAH F.

“YMCA summer camps are not just about the fun activities and creation of lifelong friendships, but most importantly about teaching our children how to be the best version of themselves. The character lessons that I was taught as a young camper at the YMCA and now volunteer are the reason that I am the person I am today, someone who is so willing to give back to this community. campers will experience thrilling weeklong activities such as arts and crafts, high ropes, swimming, and nature hikes along with learning how to live out their authentic selves.”
