The Y in Central Maryland

Y CAMP 2019



FOR A BETTER US

Summer at the Y inspires well-balanced, healthy youth development. Children unlock new skills, discover new interests, celebrate new achievements, and share all of these character-building experiences with new friends. They are given these opportunities every day in Y Camp. For the campers, it adds up to summer fun. For us, it means they feel safe, happy, supported, and loved ? the building blocks of a healthy community, for a better us.

The Y. For a better summer. For a better camper. For a better us.

SUMMER UNPLUGGE D

At the Y, we firmly believe summer is a time to let loose in the great outdoors! Campers will run, sweat, get their hands and clothes dirty, and some may even mysteriously lose a sock (or shoe, or water bottle, or hat...). We love it when campers go home "ready to rest" (wink, wink!). It means they spent their camp day in a whirlwind of

non-stop, full on, enriching summer fun. Mission accomplished!
