Last week our Director of Camp & Teen Services, Shannon (left), & Program Directors, Alex & Ashanti (center), attended the Northeast YMCA Camp Conference (NEYCC) at Frost Valley. They joined 200+ camp professionals for three days of camp development. Trainings like this help ensure we are improving every year. Our team is excited to put all they learned into action for the #BestSummerEver. Pictured far right is former YMCA Camp Combe camper, teen leader & staff member Emily who was there as part of the Springfield college Y club.
