Positive Role Models

Positive Role Models

Michigan YMCA camp counselors are carefully selected from colleges around the country and around the world. Many camp staff are undergraduate students studying education, social work or recreation. Most camps provide Teen Leadership Training programs to develop future staff. Staff members have the training, experience, maturity, enthusiasm, and a strong desire to be a positive role model for children. Extensive background checks and in-depth training prior to the arrival of children ensures a safe and protected environment in which all campers can grow and learn.

Michigan YMCA camps create and maintain a safe social environment where everyone is respected and included.  Our camps welcome people from all backgrounds and walks of life who come together as a community to gain valuable new skills, friendships, and self confidence. Together, we’re a better us.
