The YMCA of San Diego County was established in 1928 and touches the lives of nearly one out of every ten people in their community. This criticall organization is dedicated to improving the quality of human life and to helping all people realize their fullest potential through development of the spirit, mind and body.
They focus their work in three key areas, because nurturing the potential of kids, helping people live healthier and supporting their neighbors are fundamental to strengthening communities.
With the Y’s help, kids in neighborhoods across San Diego County are more interested in and making smarter life choices. At the Y, kids learn their ABCs, learn to share, learn about sportsmanship, build leadership skills and most importantly, learn how to be themselves. That makes for confident kids today and contributing and engaged adults tomorrow.
Because the Y is for everyone, they bring together children, adults and families of all abilities like no other organization can. As a result, hundreds of thousands in San Diego County are receiving the support, guidance and resources needed to achieve greater and well-being for their spirit, mind and body.
Thanks to the generosity of volunteers and public and private donors who give to the Y, their community is stronger. Every day, they work side-by-side with their neighbors to make sure that everyone, regardless of age, income or background, has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive.
They offer many child day care and you day camp packages, where every day is packed with activity! Day campers are grouped by age. The youngest campers have extra time to play, explore, and build responsibility.
