June
really is just around the corner and it is not too soon to sign up for
summer camp. Many of the most popular sessions fill up in March.
Summer
Camp is much more than swimming, archery, paintball and camp fires.
Summer Camp is about making positive relationships with others in a
caring atmosphere and focusing on the YMCA core values of caring, honesty,
respect and responsibility.
The
2008 color brochures are available and you may call the camp office
at (386) 985-4544, or email us at campwinona@daytonaymca.org, and ask
for more information and a registration form. You may also download
the brochure from our home page.
We
hope to see you at camp this summer!

Partners With Youth is a
fundraising program that allows kids to go to camp. Last year, individuals
raised over $42,000 dollars to help send kids to camp.
The decision-making is hard. Each family requesting
a scholarship contacts the office, fills out an application and sends
it back. The committee that reviews the applications and assigns scholarship
amounts really sees the needs of many families in our community. Each
year we helpe send between 100 - 150 kids to camp who would not have
been able to attend.
You can give to Partners With Youth by contacting David
Larrabee.. Every donation is tax-deductible and goes to a very worthy
cause... kids!
