Dear Members and Friends of the YMCA:

Thankfully summer has arrived and it is time to enjoy the many outdoor activities that we have been dreaming about throughout this long, cold winter.  We hope you take the opportunity to spend some time at the Ruder Family Water Park at our East Butler branch this summer and enjoy this unique family experience.  From water slides to splash pads, there is something for all ages that will help keep you cool during the heat of summer.

Our Camp Campbell Gard, which was established in 1926, offers many different opportunities for exciting outdoor experiences and friendship development.  From week-long resident camping to day camp sessions, Camp offers something for everyone.  Spending the night in a genuine teepee, riding in a 16 person "war" canoe with friends and learning to water ski are some of the activities available to your children this summer at Camp Campbell Gard.  Visit our website for more information and enroll your
children now for a memorable experience at Camp this summer.

Finally, I would like to thank all of you who have contributed to our Strong Kids campaign over the past few months.  These funds allow our YMCA to ensure that no one is turned away due to inability to pay.  On behalf of those who have been given an opportunity to attend Camp, participate in swim lessons, youth soccer, or attend YMCA childcare as a result of your collective generosity, we offer a heart-felt thank
