YMCA's Four Core Values

Nowadays, children seem to be growing up faster than ever, and they need the Four Core values of Caring, Honesty, Respect, and Responsibility in their daily lives. Many children struggle through this vast, vague time of development, and the values practiced at Camp Dudley can give them the needed traction to head the right direction in life. At such a young age, children are incredibly impressionable. Especially for kids whose home lives lack strong values, Camp Dudley can plant those vital seeds of character, and camp counselors can nurture those seeds and help them blossom to their full potential. 

I am a firm believer in the power of summer camp and the ripple effects it can have in molding a child’s life. Camp Dudley has the perfect combination of fun activities, good friends, positive role models, a strong sense of belonging, budding confidence, strengthened group unity and leadership skills, which ultimately offers a true “experience of a lifetime".
