Reflecting on 2011 A Letter from our Chairman & CEO

How do you build young leaders? It’s not an easy question to answer. It’s even more difficult to do. Yet, that is Frost Valley YMCA’s defining achievement in 2011. Over the year, we imparted leadership skills to all who came to camp here. Listed within these pages are the pathways we took to get there.

Our camp is laced with trails that lead to a great many sights, like High Falls or Devil’s Hole. But there are other pathways throughout camp, led by our staff and volunteers, and clearly marked by our values.

You know when a camper has been down one of those: When they hold the door for another lagging behind; when they help a counselor carry supplies; when they clean up their table in the dining hall; when they encourage each other on the ropes courses; when they sing hoopla at the top of their lungs.

You’ll find many things within the pages of this report, including a financial summary and an account of the number of participants we served in each of our programs. But, when we set goals at Frost Valley, we’re not driven by revenue, or the numbers of kids, families, and adults we serve.

Our goals are derived from the heartfelt desire to instill eight core values in each individual we serve, and to witness the campers who leave here different than when they arrived. When they leave, they’re following the pathways toward leadership. Striving towards this accomplishment, in every one of our areas of service, gives as much to the staff, volunteers, and donors of Frost Valley YMCA as it does to those who visit us.

2011 saw the culmination of a long-awaited dream: the opening of East Valley Ranch. It also brought the demise of Pigeon Lodge, a beloved, historic structure that fell in the torrential rains and flooding of Hurricane Irene.

All the while, Frost Valley YMCA’s partnerships and collaborations continued. The Ruth Gottscho Kidney Program, MAC, LiveSTRONG® at the YMCA, the Newark Partnership, and Hearts in the Valley all answered a call of need. Both—the rising and the falling—renewed the strength of partnership between Frost Valley YMCA and our community of donors, staff, and volunteers.

This annual report is a celebration. A celebration of leadership. A celebration of successes achieved and difficulties faced and overcome. A celebration of collaboration and partnership. A celebration of donors who answered the call, in an hour of need, to safeguard the mission. A celebration of you.

In their own valley In June, 2011, East Valley Ranch opened its doors to the delight of Frost Valley YMCA’s young equestrians. Now, in their own valley—full of yurts and barns and pastures and horses—girls-only camps focus on developing horsemanship skills.

But, inherent in the care of horses and the ability to ride, is the development of leadership skills such as: responsibility, stewardship, care and respect. The East Valley Ranch equestrian programs are unique not because of the setting and the program offerings, but because of the imparting of Frost Valley’s eight core values through shared experience—the struggle and the accomplishment alike—which sets campers on the path to leadership.

So much more than a horse When learning to ride, a young girl learns to quiet her fears, to trust her intuition, to respect herself. While grooming, feeding, picking, and tacking, she learns what it means to care for another and the responsibility that comes with that. When learning about equine science, she is aware of life as a diverse and wonderful mystery. As the horse responds to her, begins to put its trust in her, a partnership flourishes, nurtured by the simple honesty of that relationship. She pushes beyond her limits, and in tandem with the horse, she succeeds. As her relationship with the horse deepens, so does her relationship with herself. And her friendships within this inclusive community of young equestrians flourish. The East Valley Ranch experience builds over several years as the young girls in this program grow into young women, ready to steward the next generation.

The aftermath On August 28, 2011, when Hurricane Irene bypassed New York City, where it had originally been forecast to hit, it hurtled instead through the Catskill Mountains. Frost Valley was caught in its path, along with several other small towns in the region. The hurricane dumped twelve inches of hard rain overnight. As raging rivers swallowed pastures, horses ran for higher ground above the castle. Rocks, debris and fallen trees were scattered across campus. High winds caused flooding that washed out roads, bridges, fencing, and—sadly—Pigeon Lodge.

The next day dawned warm, calm, and sunny with clear blue skies, and our work began. The values, work ethic, and leadership skills we espouse all year round were on full display, and our wider community of board members, donors, friends, and campers rallied in support from all over the world. The Frost Valley family has never been so strong, connected, and heartening. We thank you.

a Community United When Pigeon Lodge fell, the Frost Valley community came together. Nearly $275,000 was raised by over 1,100 individuals to help aid our recovery efforts and build anew. This generosity of spirit inspired a commitment to Frost Valley and future leaders. We set our sights on a new lodge to house CIT’s—counselors-in-training—so that our mission will continue to live on, strong and secure.

When Family Camp was cancelled, families near and far came together to help those in need. Many donated time and money. Several spearheaded fund drives at their schools. Still others rescheduled their August vacations, choosing to come to camp throughout the fall and winter months instead.

They experienced different seasons and adventures here, and found new reasons to call Frost Valley home.

When the new School Programs staff began orientation and training for their 2011 fall season, the hurricane had just hit and core staff was busy clearing out, cleaning up, and hiking horses, kids, and luggage out by foot. They shored up washed-out roads and helped rebuild bridges and temporary passageways. They repaired fencing and leaks. Their drive and commitment were truly remarkable.

The work ethic and values-in-action of these tireless staffers was hard to resist.

While the new school programs employees-in-training wished they could’ve been out there helping, they were inspired by the hard work they witnessed.

That new staff decided to match the others’ indomitable spirit—all year long—making the 2011 School Programs season one of our strongest and proudest.

in real time Far from the lure of the wired world, surrounded by majestic Catskill Mountain peaks, communities of children—young leaders-in-the-making—come together to experience the timeless joys of Frost Valley YMCA’s summer camp. Ever since our founding, this valley has been the summer home to generations. Over the years, some things have changed, but our values remain the same: Caring, Community, Diversity, Honesty, Inclusiveness, Respect, Responsibility, and Stewardship.

These principles serve as pathways, guiding young campers while they commune with nature and connect with each other deeply, in real time.

These long-lasting friendships are at the heart of the camp experience, bringing many children back year after year.

a Rite of Passage In two-week sessions, electronic pastimes give way to simpler pleasures: playing sports, creating arts and crafts, hiking, horseback riding, rock climbing, canoeing, swimming, singing, story-telling, making friends, and marshmallow-roasting around a bonfire underneath a star-washed sky. Here, kids revel in the wonders of childhood and, with the encouragement of their peers and our experienced staff, they challenge themselves to go beyond their limits. And they succeed. Reaching a certain level of independence is a rite of passage here at camp for all who attend.

Mainstreaming at Camp (Mac) In partnership with the Young Adult Institute, Frost Valley YMCA welcomes children with developmental disabilities to join the wider camp community during supervised daily activities. Our values of inclusiveness, diversity, and respect point the way toward the development of interdependent relationships among our young campers. In integrated groups, children experience the joys of pure play and the abundance of the natural world where no two things are alike. They come to appreciate each other, and all of creation.

Children of all abilities gain a sense of belonging on the shores of Lake Cole, on the playing fields, halfway-up the climbing tower, singing songs over lunch in the dining hall and storytelling around the bonfire at night.

They encourage one another to try new things, and, together, they grow confident in their newly-acquired skills. A culture of caring based on empathy, respect and empowerment grows strong, and friendships flourish. The MAC Program fosters development, independence, and joy in all of the children who attend Frost Valley. Success guaranteed.

Ruth Gottscho Dialysis & Children’s Kidney Program In partnership with the Ruth Gottscho Kidney Foundation and Children’s Hospital at Montefiore, campers with chronic kidney disease experience the gift of freedom. For two weeks, they go on a life-changing journey, benefitting from the solace of nature and the carefree pleasures of summer camp alongside the wider Frost Valley YMCA community.

Our camp community is built on a firm, ever-caring foundation; so are the friendships forged here. The world, in its vastness, reflects the limitless potential of all our campers as they learn from one another and broaden their horizons.

Supported by experienced staff and the encouragement of other healthy campers, these kids will be kids, doing things they never thought possible: conquering the giant swing, rowing boats across Lake Cole, scaling the climbing tower, building the very best S’more, making new friends, being silly, sleeping beneath a canopy of stars.

Frost Valley YMCA, the nation’s first camp to welcome children with chronic kidney disease, continues to provide unparalleled service and medical attention to these young campers. Dialysis treatments in Frost Valley’s state-of-the-art Guenther Family Wellness Center are periodic, but peaceful, against the backdrop of the lush Catskill Mountain Forest Preserve, overlooking the shores of Lake Cole.

a helping hand Thanks to the generous donations that support our Newark Partnership, over the years Frost Valley YMCA has been able to get thousands of kids off the streets of Newark, where one-third of families live below the poverty level and summers are less than carefree for kids. If not for the scholarships and subsidies that enable these children to come to camp, they would spend their summers with limited access to safe outdoor recreational activities. They would not have the opportunity to learn, grow, and build confidence within a diverse and supportive peer group. Without them, Frost Valley would be a different kind of place.

Frost Valley YMCA’s programs are melting pots of opportunity. Here, campers learn about, and come to appreciate, the differences in one another. It’s a profound experience. When kids learn about the vastness of the world around them, they become aware of their own limitless potential.

From LiveSTRONG® at the YMCA to Hearts in the Valley to Kidney Camp—and thanks to campaigns like Project 332 and the Newark Partnership—no one need miss out on the Frost Valley experience: the restorative power of play, the value of education, the spirit of stewardship, and the friendships that transcend all differences. On common ground, here in this valley, the path to leadership is clearly marked.

education lives and breathes Many schools across the tri-state area have deep, abiding connections to Frost Valley YMCA, where education lives and breathes, and kids learn for real. More than that, they GROW. In our vast outdoor classroom, learning is experiential and often student-led, as curiosities flourish and natural abilities burst forth. Children blossom into young leaders before their teacher’s eyes.

Often, it’s the child who can’t focus in the classroom who conquers the cable bridge. The one who can’t sit still in his desk who calmly catches a newt in the palm of his hand. The shy girl who whoops out loud from the top of the climbing tower. The bullied boy whose courage on the zipline inspires others and attracts new friends. Teachers and students become super heroes on the giant swing, the flying squirrel, the leap of faith. They become

friends around the campfire.

Lifelong Learners Frost Valley YMCA’s outstanding staff partners with teachers to design and conduct programs that meet the standards of New York and New Jersey state curriculum and the requirements of New York City Watershed Education Grants. But it’s not just the top-notch environmental education, the academic support, the challenging adventure courses, and the recreation that keeps schools coming back year after year. It’s our values—the foundation of Frost Valley—which we impart to students and teachers, alike. Frost Valley School Programs develop confident, socially responsible, actively engaged, life-long learners.

championing Academics Discovery Charter School, an inner-city school in Newark, New Jersey, has been coming to Frost Valley for 25 years. Trips are fully funded through financial assistance and awarded to students for excellent academic and behavioral achievement. Their visits involve intense study: SAT test prep, reading, writing, math and science. Teachers use their time here to re-introduce and reinforce concepts.

They incorporate art, poetry, and journaling into their environmental studies, including sketches of horses, poems about the sounds of a farrier’s horseshoeing demonstration, and journaling about a hike to High Falls.

Discovery Charter school is diverse. Some students are high achievers, some are high risk, and some have special needs.

For them, it’s all about trust. Frost Valley is a safe, nurturing environment where students and teachers, alike, can learn to trust each other. When that seed is planted here, it grows healthy and strong and the harvesting is done throughout the year back home.

Building Character The Sayville School, of Long Island, NY, has been coming to Frost Valley since 1980, and they feel a deep sense of connection, as if camp is an extension of their school. Banners made during visits at Frost Valley adorn their atrium, commemorating many successful years here. For Sayville, it’s about character development and empowerment, which makes Frost Valley the perfect partner for the journey. Our values serve as compass points, guiding students over the terrain toward leadership. Because it’s not about the hiking trails, the cable bridge, the giant’s ladder, or the ropes course. For Sayville students, it’s about the confidence that is born here, the trust that is bred, and the relationships that spring eternal on the foundation of our values.

During visits to Frost Valley, they are always on the lookout for values-in-action—that is, when they’re not demonstrating values-in-action. Whenever a student sees someone doing something that exemplifies respect, or caring, or stewardship, for example, they write down the who, what, when and where on a slip of paper. Then they make a link. The links make a chain. And the chain wraps around our huge dining hall several times—values-in-action.

Expanding horizons For the students of

Brookhaven Learning Center in Long Island, NY, a special needs school for teenagers with developmental disabilities, visits to Frost Valley are the highlight of the year.

They are for the Frost Valley staff, too. Employees from across camp—not just program staff—choose to partake in Brookhaven visits because they are so lively, inspiring, and fun. Hay rides, square dances, basketball games, and campfires—all are opportunities for Brookhaven students to make friends and achieve greater levels of confidence and independence. For them, it’s about living personally fulfilling lives. And that means building social skills, forging relationships and becoming integral members of the community-at-large.

Under the guidance of Frost Valley staff, Brookhaven students challenge themselves to do things they have never done before. They canoe across the lake, hike to High Falls, climb the tower, soar on the flying squirrel, and reach new heights on the giant swing. They do things they’ve never even imagined, and that sets their dreams in motion.

Fostering Leadership The independent schools that make up the

Interschool Association—Brearley, Browning, Chapin, Collegiate, Nightingale and Spence—share their resources and form

a wider community in which peer leadership is a major component.

Every winter, the 10th graders from these schools visit Frost Valley YMCA to celebrate excellence in achievement and to receive peer leadership training from recognized leaders of that year’s senior class. While skiing, skating, tubing, and orienteering, they work with peer leaders on issues related to high school academic and extracurricular life, responsible decision making, and socializing across school lines. Frost Valley YMCA is a quiet, safe, nurturing environment for these students to open themselves up to new challenges and experiences that instill in them a grounded sense of personal and social responsibility and stewardship.

where traditions take root Far from the pressures and stresses of everyday life, where the demands of work, school, and social commitments take their toll, Frost Valley YMCA is a haven for families. In our serene valley, cradled by the Catskill Mountains, the joys of nature and togetherness take center stage. Free of distraction— jobs and homework are on pause; iPhones don’t work; twitter means birdsong—families have the space and quietude to connect deeply, in simple ways reminiscent of a bygone era. In a place as sheltered and nurturing as Frost Valley, ringed by mountains and trees that have endured for hundreds of years, families remember their roots.

It’s the eight core values of Frost Valley, steadfast and unchanging, that thread families together for generations. When parents and children slow down and rediscover the wonders of nature together—when they challenge themselves, explore, and take risks—their roots grow a little deeper, a little stronger. They become everlasting.

a home for many For decades, and through the generations, Frost Valley has been home to family reunions, weddings, health and wellness retreats, church groups, and many more. Over the years, we’ve changed. We’ve added the Guenther Family Wellness Center, Geyer Hall, Lakeview Lodge, Farm Camp, and East Valley Ranch, as well as new programs, amenities, and animals. But the groups don’t come here, year after year, for any of that. The ownership they feel, the deep connection they have, is based on our values—the essence of who we are, and who they become when they’re here. It’s our traditions, which they make their own. It’s the experiences they have here—making fresh cider from apples in our orchard, or maple syrup in our maple sugar house, or going eye-to-eye with a great horned owl in our Raptor Center—that they can’t have anywhere else. And we’re happy to share.

Girl Scouts Girl Scout troops come to Frost Valley for weekends throughout the school year. Winter sports, eco-challenges, Earth Day celebrations, leadership skills, adventure sports, and health and wellness weekends provide girl scouts ample opportunity to work towards their badges. More than that, these weekends instill in young girls the confidence, poise, leadership, and independence that will safeguard their futures. This is also an opportunity for Frost Valley YMCA to support other non-profit organizations by providing the environment to help them accomplish their goals.

Family Camp At Family Camp—the last week of August—parents experience the power of pure play as their children lead the way over ropes courses, up the climbing tower, down the zipline, across the sand in pursuit of fresh tracks. Our values—the heart of Frost Valley—are the springboard for ever-deepening relationships. When parents see the world through their kids’ eyes—the awe and the joy—and when kids meet their parents’ inner children for the first time, families are complete.

Livestrong® at the YMCA LiveSTRONG® at the YMCA weekends bring cancer survivors and their families to Frost Valley YMCA to celebrate recovery and the journey to renewed health. A true mission-based program, Frost Valley supports LiveSTRONG at the YMCA by fully funding cancer survivors’ weekends at camp, and providing education and programs on healthy living: exercise, nutrition, stress-reduction, mindfulness and meditation. Survivors meet others working towards the same goals and together, as a community, they find renewed strength and confidence for the journey ahead.

Y Guides Y Guide weekends bring fathers and daughters and fathers and sons to Frost Valley for quality time together—often crowded out at home where the urgent trumps the important.

When they arrive, they wonder what they’ll do for an entire weekend alone. When they leave, they can’t stop talking about all they’ll do when they come back.

Without the distraction of cell phones and the internet, dads and sons and daughters talk to each other. They explore the outdoors together—hiking, canoeing, snowshoeing, star-gazing—and their shared experiences provide memories that nourish their relationships for a lifetime.

Bridging Cultures & Continents Japanese families on temporary transfer within the tri-state area endure a kind of dual existence, assimilating to life in a foreign country while trying to hold onto their roots. This is especially hard for the children. Older kids experience an identity crisis. The more they learn in American schools, the more Americanized they become, and

their grasp on the language and culture of Japan weakens.

For younger kids, the American way of life becomes the only way they know. When it’s time to move back to Japan, they must assimilate all over again.

The Tokyo-Frost Valley YMCA partnership, a unique global collaboration between YMCA associations built on our mutual values, provides a home base for Japanese families to take respite from the work, school, and social stresses of life in a foreign country. Coordinated programming with YMCAs in Westchester and New York City offer transplanted families the support they need on a regular basis.

This partnership not only brings our two cultures together in mutual respect and understanding, it brings families together who’ve been torn by their bi-cultural environments. It also helps Japanese children build strong identities as global citizens with friendships that span cultures and continents.

In 2011, founders of the Tokyo partnership were inducted into the Frost Valley YMCA Hall of Fame for their vision and commitment to building cultural ties between our countries, helping create a diverse and global community here at Frost Valley. The tsunami relief that Frost Valley raised in order to aid victims in Tokyo after the Tohoku earthquake in March, 2011, and the hurricane relief that the citizens of Japan raised in order to aid our recovery efforts, are a direct result of our mutual care and respect fostered by this partnership.
