To effect positive change in our community by creating opportunities in the outdoors for personal growth, leadership development and the building of relationships through exceptional camping experiences.
Our Philosophy:
At YMCA Camp Shady Brook, we believe every participant should have the following opportunities:
Participate actively in a community in which all are accepted
Receive guidance and support in setting and achieving goals
Increase self-awareness, self-confidence, self-reliance, and self-esteem
Expand their sense of responsibility for the shared experiences of the community
Develop healthy, supportive relationships with peers and mentors
Explore and appreciate nature in a beautiful outdoor setting
Explore and expand new and existing skill sets
We put these beliefs into practice every day!
Safety:
Safety is our number one priority. In addition to our Health Care Manager, all staff are certified with CPR/First Aid and EMS response time is within 10 minutes. Camp Shady Brook is accredited by the American Camp Association http://www.campparents.org/funsafety.
