Camp Staff

A small group of young Y campers gather around Y staff members to look at something the male staff member picked up from the ground.

A Fun Place For All

At the Y, we believe every child deserves the chance to shine. Our dedicated staff come from various backgrounds and are trained to create an environment where kids can laugh, lead and make lasting friendships.

Well-Proven Programs

We ensure high-quality youth programs through the Youth Program Quality Assessment (PQA) tool, which evaluates our safe environments, staff engagement and youth-centered policies. Results help guide continuous improvement and staff training tailored to individual needs. Our programs are licensed by state childcare regulations, ensuring safety and compliance through unannounced inspections.

Additionally, each completes 30 hours of annual professional development, promoting our core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.
