YMCA CAMP CAMPBELL TRADITIONAL OVERNIGHT CAMPS

OUR PROGRAM Our two-week program emphasizes growth and strengthening character values in all campers. Throughout the program, campers learn more about themselves and how to work together as a cabin group. Whether it is playing an all-camp game, learning new skills in an activity session, eating meals in the dining lodge, or dressing up for our Wacky Tacky Tuesdays, campers form meaningful relationships, try new things, and have tons of fun.

Over two weeks, campers disconnect from the technology and distractions of outside life. Here at camp, our number one priority is providing a safe, positive camper experience. We believe that campers are most successful when given the opportunity to push themselves out of their comfort zones and discover resiliency, responsibility and confidence in themselves.

HELPING CHILDREN THRIVE Project CornerstoneAt the Y, we partner with Project Cornerstone to help adults connect with children and youth in a positive way to help young people thrive.

Research shows that there are essential elements that are crucial to their healthy development. We call these elements “Developmental Assets”—the positive experiences, relationships, opportunities and values that young people need to thrive. We integrate these into all our programs and services.

The essential building blocks for young people’s successful growth and development fall into eight categories:1. Support: Young people need to experience support,

care, and love from their families and many others. They need organizations and institutions that provide positive, supportive environments.

2. Empowerment: Young people need to be valued by their community and have opportunities to contribute to others. For this to occur, they must be safe and feel secure.

3. Boundaries and expectations: Young people need to know what is expected of them and whether activities and behaviors are “in bounds” or “out of bounds.”

4. Constructive use of time: Young people need constructive, enriching opportunities for growth through creative activities, youth programs, congregational involvement, and quality time at home.

5. Commitment to learning: Young people need to develop a lifelong commitment to education and training.

6. Positive values: Young people need to develop strong values that guide their choices.

7. Social Competencies: Young people need skills and competencies that equip them to make positive choices, build relationships, and succeed in life.

8. Positive identity: Young people need a strong sense of their own power, purpose, worth, and promise.

You have the power to change lives. By building assets with Silicon Valley’s children and youth, you can help them to become competent, caring, and responsible adults.
