Dear Parents:

Fairview Lake YMCA Camps becomes a 'summer home' for campers and staff alike. Our goal is for each and every camper to feel at home as soon as they arrive at camp. Campers return year after year, gain acceptance
into our Counselor-In-Training Program and often advance to become counselors and key staff members. Our camp alumni return in the summer to share memories of their summers spent at Fairview and enjoy learning
that camp traditions from the years gone by remain strong.

Even our youngest campers realize that they are at a special place, a place where they can be themselves and
feel a sense of belonging. They feel safe to enjoy new experiences, learn new skills and make new friends in a supportive and caring environment. As campers mature into their teens and young adulthood they gain an even greater appreciation for the opportunities and exciting activities Fairview Lake YMCA Camp provides for them.

Our mature and well-trained staff help campers learn the four core values of the YMCA - caring, honesty, responsibility and respect. Our stimulating programs, excellent facilities and exceptional staff provide an
environment where self-confidence, self-reliance and respect for others flourish. We hope that your family will
soon be counted among the thousands of families who have enjoyed - and continue to enjoy - The Fairview
Experience.

Ranch Camp is a specialized program for those who love horses and riding, but at Fairivew Lake YMCA
Camps our staff feel that it is also important for campers to have an all-around camp experience.  Built in to
the day campers will enjoy swimming and special activities in a caring environment that allows them to
enjoy themselves with friends.
