IMPACTING THE COMMUNITYThrough the Annual Campaign100% of your donation to the Annual Campaign is given as financial aid to those who otherwise could not afford a membership, programs or two weeks of summer camp this year, right in your own community.

From March to June, members and staff form Teams to reach out and ask you, other members, friends and family to contribute to the Annual Campaign, to give a helping hand to our community.

Look for stories of gratitude and inspiration from financial aid recipients displayed in the Ys. Each story is unique and heartfelt. That is what motivates us to ask for your gift to the Annual Campaign each year.

On behalf of all financial aid recipients, thank you for supporting YMCA Southcoast!

USEFUL INFORMATIONAbout The YTRADITION OF VOLUNTEERS Volunteers have always played a critical role in helping the Y fulfill our mission of service to the community and to all the people who come through our doors. We welcome any skill or time you can offer. People working together — it’s a Y tradition.

Proper swimming suits are required in the swimming pool; cut-offs and gym shorts are not permitted. For racquetball and squash play, it is strongly recommended that “eye guards” be worn.

With so many demands on today’s families, parents need all the support they can get. That’s why early childhood programs at the Y are about more than looking after kids.

At the Y, we also focus on role-modeling and teaching kids the Y values of caring, honesty, respect, responsibility. We welcome families at all of our program sites and encourage you to visit.

At YMCA SOUTHCOAST, we believe camping is about having fun and developing skills while offering opportunities that allow children to grow to their fullest potential. We develop character at camp by teaching and demonstrating our core values of honesty, respect, caring and responsibility to our campers. Our five summer day camps provide your child multiple opportunities to learn new skills, develop confidence and character, and make new friends.

PARENTS TRUST USYMCA SOUTHCOAST Day Camps provide a happy, healthy environment for children to learn and grow. Children have the opportunity to build self-confidence, independence, and creativity, while parents have the peace of mind knowing their children are in a safe and enriching place.

SAFETY ∙ Accreditation & LicensingYMCA Southcoast day camps operate according to standards set forth by the American Camp Association (ACA). ACA accredits each of our day camp programs. The ACA believes “Camp gives kids a World of Good®” because camp is a building block to the successful development of young people. This independent body establishes standards for key aspects of camp operation, program quality, health and safety of campers. The ACA accreditation includes an on-site visitation every three years. Our partnership with ACA means we promote fun and learning in a safe environment. Our campers are staffed by counselors who are genuinely interested in working with children—certified in First Aid and CPR. Each staff member must pass a rigorous background check before they start working at camp. In addition, each camp complies with regulations of the Massachusetts Department of Health and local boards of health.

Contact the camp or download the 2014 Camp Brochure online for all the details of our camp offerings available for your child this summer.
