WHERE KIDS GROW AND SHINE!

At the Y, we believe that all kids have amazing potential. The values and skills learned early are vital

building blocks for life, and young people deserve an opportunity to discover who they are and what they

instilling the Y’s four core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.

STRENGTH IN COMMUNITY The Y believes that everyone deserves a chance to succeed - no matter their background or

income - and we have learned that can happen only when we unite to nurture the best in all of

us. That is why our cause is strengthening community through youth development, healthy

living and social responsibility.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

All kids deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve. Our Summer Camp

programs are open to all, regardless of inability to pay. Stop by the front desk today to find out more

about how financial assistance can make camp a reality for you!

CHILD CARE ASSISTANCE

The YMCA of Southern Nevada does accept Child Care Assistance (formerly known as EOB) payments for

Summer Camp.

CAMPER NUTRITION

Snack, lunch and loads of water are a part of your camper’s day. A healthy mid-morning

and late-afternoon snack fuels the body before physical activity that follows. A packed

lunch full of healthy options goes great with the Y’s nutrition standards. *Some Y’s

provide a free lunch as part of the Summer Food Service Program. Your camper is not

obligated to eat this lunch however; it’s healthy and saves busy parents time and money.

Please send a reusable water bottle so we can stay hydrated in the summer heat.

ELEMENTS OF CAMP

At the Y, strengthening community is our cause. Every day, we work side-by-side with our neighbors to

make sure that everyone, regardless of age, income or background, has the opportunity to learn, grow and

thrive. In order to accomplish this in our summer programs, each camp offering fits into one of the

following focus areas:

1. Character Development: Teaching the YMCA core values of caring, honesty, respect and

responsibility through teamwork, practice, and determination.

2. Leadership &Volunteerism: Igniting a desire within young leaders to make a difference in the world

around them through service.

3. Sports & Play: Promoting fun activities that build athletic, social and interpersonal skills.

4. Education & Literacy: Developing young minds through history, science and everything in between,

all while encouraging personal growth and a positive self image.

5. Arts & Humanities: Engaging youth in activities that foster creativity, character development and

an appreciation for other cultures.

6. Offsite Exploration: Expanding kids’ knowledge of the world around them through travel and new

experiences.

RESIDENCE CAMP

CAMP WHITTLE – BIG BEAR, CALIFORNIA

JUNE 28-JULY 5

AGES: 8-14

FEE: $599

Kids today need the traditional camp experience more than ever. Every day brings something new, exciting and challenging: the

power of a positive mentor, the confidence that comes from trying…then succeeding, and healthy, long lasting friendships.

Located four hours from Las Vegas and just two miles from Big Bear Lake in California, campers enjoy the beautiful surroundings

of the forest, lake and meadow as they participate in activities and adventure galore!

For the past seven summers, the YMCA of Southern Nevada has had the opportunity and responsibility to provide a unique

outdoor camp experience for Las Vegas youth. During this exciting week, individual goals are achieved, confidence is built, and

lifelong friendships are developed.

GROW IN THE FOUR YMCA CORE VALUES OF

CARING, HONESTY, RESPECT AND

RESPONSIBILITY. Campers will be faced with

challenges throughout the week that will give them

the opportunity to display the values that are the

heartbeat of our organization.

GROW IN THE ABILITY TO MAKE SOUND,

INDEPENDENT DECISIONS. For many campers, this

will be their first time away from home. During the

week stay at Camp Whittle, participants will be

challenged to make the best decisions about their

schedule, their daily responsibilities and nutrition.

CREATE LIFELONG FRIENDSHIPS. Camp Whittle

presents a wonderful opportunity to create new

friendships that can last a lifetime. Camp staff are

intentional in initiating friendship building activities

throughout the week.

GAIN AN APPRECIATION FOR NATURE AND THE

GREAT OUTDOORS. At Camp Whittle, campers will

live surrounded by the great outdoors for an entire

week. During this time, campers will participate in

activities such as: nature walks, hiking, bike riding,

horseback riding, a petting zoo and star gazing.
