Frost Valley YMCA’s
programs focus on building and maintaining healthy lifestyles and
reflect the interests and needs of a dynamic community composed
of an exciting mix of cultures, backgrounds, and abilities.
Campers enjoy fitness
while learning how it relates to their overall well-being, inside
and out. At Frost Valley YMCA, campers enjoy swimming; soccer; and
hiking. Individual and group activities encourage campers to make
positive choices for themselves. Choices that will one day help
make them strong, productive members in their respective communities.
Campers are taught skills to develop self-esteem; good hygiene;
personal and emotional safety; and the consequences of substance
abuse. And most importantly, the camping community participates
in activities designed to build trust, teamwork, and mutual understanding.
Staff travel from across
the country and around the world to join Frost Valley’s team
-- from California to Maine, and as far afield as South Africa and
New Zealand. In-depth background and criminal history checks are
diligently performed on all applicants. Once hired, staff undergo
rigorous training, which includes: Health and Safety Awareness,
Emergency Procedures, Behavior Management, Activity Leadership,
the Wellness Philosophy, Team Building, and Age Specific Youth Challenges.
Our goal is to ensure successful camping and educational experiences
for each child.
