Give the gift of Y Camp this year!

While you’re making a list and checking it twice this holiday season, ask yourself this question: Would you rather get your child another “hot” toy that will end up in the back of the closet by February, or an unforgettable experience that will build year after year?

A week of resident camp at the Treasure Valley Family YMCA’s Y Camp: Horsethief Reservoir won’t break when you take it out of the package. It won’t end up on a card table at your yard sale next summer. And it certainly won’t be forgotten after a couple of months. Y Camp is an investment toward a successful future for your child.

But don’t take our word for it — read this sampling of
Quotes from Y Camp Moms (and Dads) we compiled after 2010’s historic Grand Opening year at Horsethief:

“My son had an amazing time at camp. He got to know more kids and was able to make decisions on his own and be a bit more independent — but with great adult supervision.”

“It was her first time at camp, and she came back more confident and self-assured.”

“This was her first opportunity to be away from her parents and grandparents, her first real opportunity to be responsible for herself. She came home a little more grown up.”

“It was her first time away for an extended period (more than one night). She seemed proud of her independence and thoroughly happy with the experience. She made friends, had fun and learned a few new things.”

“He was excited about attending, and as equally excited when he returned telling me about his experiences — and had a form in hand to register for next year’s camp!”

Registration for the Y’s second year at Horsethief Reservoir, a resplendent 408-acre resident camp in Valley County, is now open for all campers — new and returning, Y members and non-members alike.
