The YMCA Day Camp Philosophy
The YMCA’s mission is to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirits, minds, and bodies for all. The purpose of YMCA Day Camp, as with every YMCA program, is to help participants—in this case preschoolers to teens—grow spiritually, mentally, and physically. By using a natural camp site, or incorporating trips to a natural setting, and by providing challenging activities in both small- and large-group settings under the guidance of caring, well-trained staff members, YMCA Day Camp can give children an experience that can last a lifetime.
This experience is grounded in a set of seven objectives that the YMCA has for all program participants:

Grow personally.

Learn values.

Improve personal and family relationships.

Appreciate diversity.

Become better leaders and supporters.

Develop specific skills.

Have fun.

Have Fun
Life is enjoyable. Fun and humor are essential qualities of day camping and contribute to youths feeling good about themselves and about others.
