CAMP SPINDRIFTA NOTE FROM THE DIRECTORSince 1963, YMCA Camp Spindrift has been a magical part of the summer for literally thousands and thousands of local children; and before that, at the Y’s Camp LN Earl, also in West Gloucester.

Summer camp can be so much more than a few weeks of fun while school is out; it’s the opportunity to try new activities, learn skills and develop lifelong friendships and cherished memories.

Thank you for your interest in our Y Camp Spindrift. We strive daily toensureSpindriftisrecognizedasoneofthefinestcampsyouwillfindanywhere.

The Spindrift Family is tight knit and to our philosophy. It is this strong dedication among campers, alumni and staff that produces a strong return rate year after year. I hope you and your family will choose Camp Spindrift this year and share in “A Summer of Fun – A Lifetime of Memories”.

Camp Spindrift programs foster cooperation rather than competition as a means of growth. At Camp Spindrift we place a very strong emphasis on creating a setting where all children feel safe exploring new ideas and learning about their world. Making new friendships and renewing the old is an integral component of our collective success…it’s what keep all of us coming back year after year.

I thank you for considering YMCA Camp Spindrift and fully appreciate the trust you have that we will provide a safe and fun experienceforyourchild;thatisourfirstandforemostgoal.Westrive for excellence daily to provide our campers and families with the best care possible. I hope you’ll choose us to provide the Spindrift Experience for your family this summer.

Health & prosperity,Rick Doucette

Rick Doucette Executive Director, Teen & Camp Services YMCA

How did our camp get its name?Harold Xavier was the Executive Director of our YMCA during the 1950’s and 60’s, responsible for securing the property we now gratefully know as our Y Camp Spindrift.

As we begin to prepare to open Camp Spindrift for our 50th Anniversary Season - I am moved to pass along the story of why Harold named our camp “Spindrift”: Harold once shared with me that he was an avid sailor all his life and relished his time out on the water. When a wave crashes, the wisps of water that blow back in the opposite direction of the crashing wave is known as the “spindrift” - and Harold wanted YMCA and camp folks to keep this in mind as “...we all need to keep a watchful and caring eye toward our children who may be falling back in the wrong direction - the Spindrift”.

We were pleased to host Harold and his family at our camp for the occasion of his 90th birthday a couple years ago - at that event we honored Harold by presenting a new sign for the road down into camp. I expressed to him our collective gratitude for laying the foundations upon which much of our YMCA-work now stands. The road down into camp is named for Harold - so that when we comedownintoSpindrift,wewill,bothliterallyandfiguratively,follow“THEXAVIERWAY”.
