Community need
Youth need personal power, self-esteem, positive peer influence, and positive role models to live up to their full potential, according to The Search Institute.
YMCA meets the need
The Y believes all kids deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve. That's why, through YMCA Camp Seymour, thousands of youth are cultivating the values, skills, and relationships that lead to positive behaviors, better health, and educational achievement.

I've structured myself the way they have." Katie returns home from camp more grounded and less concerned with the usual pressures facing teenagers today.
