MAKING MEMORIES

SUMMER DAY CAMP 2019GRANDVIEW FAMILY YMCA

GRANDVIEW FAMILY YMCA INTRODUCTIONThe Grandview Family YMCA Summer Day Camp of-

fers an invaluable experience for children who have

completed Kindergarten – age 15, helping them to

unplug from the age of technology by stepping out

into nature for a time of exploration. With the help

of an excited staff, children gain the confidence to

make friends and grow as individuals as they em-

bark upon “Making Memories” that will last forever.

Grandview Family YMCA Summer Day Camp is an

action-packed outdoor experience led by highly

trained and imaginative YMCA staff, located on 190

wooded acres with two beautiful lakes. As a Day

Camp, our facilities are unmatched; complete with a

horse barn, water park, athletic fields, hiking trails,

mud pit, disc golf, ga-ga pits, and a gymnasium

all led by qualified counselors to teach each child

new skills for the best experience possible. Daily

devotionals, YMCA certified swim lessons and nature

education are just part of how the Grandview

Family YMCA strives to fulfill the YMCA’s mission of

helping each child to grow in spirit, mind and body.

Let your kids come and be molded by the 4 YMCA

character traits of Honesty, Caring, Respect, and

Responsibility.

was able to work, plus no phones gaming, or tv!”

“The Camp Grandview YMCA has the best staff and atmosphere.

I’m grateful my daughter has been attending for 5 years.”

“The kids are having a really great time. They come

home so excited every day telling us about all the fun they’ve had. We’ll go

through the Facebook photos together and my oldest will tell me they don’t do the camp justice. They’re doing way more

than the photographer can keep up with.”

not relying on electronics for entertainment. Love

all the different activities and the swim lessons

included.”

every day talking about how fun it
