Thank you letter for YMCA 2010 Camp Members and Staff

Dear Friends of the Y:

I would like to thank all the campers, parents, counselors and Y Staff for a fun, successful and safe summer in our day camp program. We did a lot of creative, educational, and fun activities this year. Some of the most memorable being the trip to Camel Beach Water Park, a showcase of the variety of talents held by our campers and staff in the Annual Talent Show, two fabulous theater productions, three parent dinners whipped up by our own Little Chefs, and the debut of our newest addition to camp Skate, Bowl, and Mini-Golf which was a hit! We ended camp with a Core Value Party where campers showcased all the things they learned throughout the summer such as new skills, interaction and communication, core values (respect, responsibility, caring, and honesty), teamwork, and embracing diversity.

I’m looking forward to the summer of 2011, where our day camping program can reach new heights. Campers will be able to experience new and fresh activities, play tons of games, learn new skills and sports, as well as meet new people and make new friends.

So if your looking for a positive environment for your children to learn and grow during their summer vacation, think about the Allentown YMCA & YWCA Day Camping Program, where every camper has the opportunity to reach for the stars.
