Magdalena Ecke Family YMCA
2012 Summer Camp GuideOur missiOn:
The Magdalena Ecke Family YMCA Summer Camp program is dedicated to improving the quality
of human life and to helping all people realize their fullest potential as children of God through
development of the spirit, mind and body.
We are committed to providing your child with a safe, enriching summer camp experience that
incorporates the YMCA’s four core values of Honesty, Responsibility, Respect and Caring.
Camp is a fun place for your child to meet friends and learn new skills. You can also expect that your
child will benefit by learning lifelong skills about becoming a great person with excellent character.
Throughout the week, campers will participate in a variety of activities that teach our character
values while being encouraged and recognized for demonstrating these values throughout their camp
experience. At the Y, character counts.
We know that the quality of your child’s camp experience hinges on the excellence of our staff
members. Because our staff team means so much to each of our campers, we focus on selecting,
retaining and training the best Camp Leaders and Unit Leaders. Our staff members are engaging,
energetic, fun and excited to spend each day of camp teaching and interacting with your child. Turn
the page to learn more about our camp staff and how they are getting ready for your camper.
