DISCOVER YOUR SUMMER

2016 DAY CAMP SALLY’S YMCA

YMCA of Greater Charlotte day camps are centered around improving the well-being of children. We believe in each child’s individuality and intentionally focus on three areas of development: friendships, accomplishment and belonging. We work to create a safe and vibrant environment that allows children to: • Learn and master skills that nurture their passions, talents and potential. • Bond with new friends and positive staff role models to create lasting memories. • Know they belong so they feel welcome and free to express who they are.

CAMPING WITH THE Y. A CAUSE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN. At the Y, we know that every child can benefit from camp. We also know that not all children have what they need to thrive. That’s why, with the generous support of our donors, we provide scholarship assistance for families who need our support. If your family needs assistance, let us help. Our Y is committed to serving those in greatest need. Or, you can help send a child to camp!
