Thousands of children and youth will be coming in for their first day of camp next Tuesday. We are excited for the transformational and fun experience they and their camp counsellors are about to embark on!
In anticipation of that first day, we interviewed some of our Camp team about what camp means to them.
Today, we meet Alexa!
Alexa started her camp journey the way many kids do, as a camper! Now, 9 years later, she helps coordinate Day Camps for Saddletowne YMCA in the summer, instructs climbing and skating during the year, all while she finishes up her degree in Education.
“Camp has shaped my whole life. It has allowed me to grow my leadership skills, has taught me how to handle stressful situations, strengthened my communication abilities, and allowed me a place to be quirky and silly.”
