| MISSION STATEMENT YMCA Mission Statement The YMCA of Central Massachusetts is an association of all persons regardless of means, in the common effort to develop spirit, mind and body for our youth, our families, our communities and ourselves through activities guided by and based upon Judeo-Christian principles. OPERATING PRINCIPLES · Excellence in Program Quality · Service to the Community · Commitment to Our Purpose and Mission Fun Club Statement of Purpose The YMCA will provide children aged 5 through 14 a morning recreational program, which reflects and responds to the needs, skills and abilities of the participants. Since children’s needs are diverse, the program provides for all aspects of child development: physical, intellectual, emotional and social. Further, the child’s development is fostered through his/her participation in a planned program of instructional and social interactions. YMCA programming provides a balanced and safe environment with a sufficient amount of adult supervision to ensure quality care. While providing a safe environment, children have ample opportunity to observe, ask questions, and experiment within the stable and familiar setting created by the staff. The setting for learning is designed for the child to develop initiative, responsibility, cooperation, and consideration of others. Staff accept and demonstrate, and encourage in children, the positive values of Caring, Honesty, Respect and Responsibility The YMCA will not discriminate against anyone on the basis of race, religion, cultural heritage, political beliefs, physical disability, marital status, sexual orientation, or national origin. The YMCA Camp Harrington Fun Club is licensed by the Massachusetts Board of Health. |
