MISSION
JOIN THE Y FAMILY
The Y will always be dedicated to
building healthy, confident and connected
children, adults, families, and communities.
Every day our impact is felt when an
individual makes a healthy choice, a
mentor inspires a child, and a community
comes together to make a difference.
To build a healthy spirit, mind and body
based on Christian principles and to
improve the quality of life for children,
individuals and families in the Ambridge
Area, Cornell, Moon Area, and Quaker
Valley school districts.
The mission and promise of the
Sewickley Valley YMCA is to provide
exceptional programs for everyone,
regardless of their financial circumstances. Whether it is a working family who needs
safe, affordable child care, children who
need access to safe, healthy environments
for enriching activities, or adults who strive
to lead a healthier life, the Y is
committed to finding solutions and creating
lasting impact through our Annual
Campaign.
OPEN THE DOOR TO
EXCITEMENT FOR THE
ENTIRE FAMILY
A YMCA family membership opens the door
to exciting programs designed to strengthen
spirit, mind and body. Your family will enjoy
the benefits of YMCA membership through
participation in a variety of fun and healthy
activities ranging from aquatics to winter

and older adult events to teen outings.
A leading nonprofit partner in the
Sewickley Valley, the Y strives to move
communities forward. There is no other
nonprofit quite like the Y. That’s because
we have the presence and partnerships to
deliver, lasting personal and social change.

swim lessons as a benefit of your membership. Led by encouraging and friendly certified instructors, classes are grouped by

YMCA Summer Camps are the place to be! Kids love swimming and hiking, playing outdoor
games and sports and getting creative with arts
& crafts. YMCA summer camps are the perfect
place for kids to experience field trips and have
a blast!
PARENTS TRUST US
Our camp leadership has a combined 50 years of experience with our Y’s Day Camp.
They hire, train, and support the 60+ college-age counselors that will guide your child through
each fun and exciting day. All staff participates in a 40 hour training that includes: first aid and
safety (including aquatics), child abuse prevention, and every game, song, and activity.
SUMMER IS JUST

In 2014, our camp had approximately
3,100 registrations over a 10-week period!
Every day, we had over 400 campers swim,
play, run, make friends, sing, play sports, make
crafts, go on field trips, socialize, hike, and be
a kid. We know camp, kids, and how to
make summer fun!
The 10 weeks of camp are broken into
