PROGRAM GUIDE SOUTH SHORE YMCA – QUINCY BRANCH ssymca.org

Whether you are a seasoned camper or new to Day Camps, I look forward to welcoming you to our camp family! I am honored to be in my new role as the Camp Director. Throughout the past 10 years I have played an active role in the camp setting here at the SOUTH SHORE YMCA. During this time I have witnessed many campers grow from their camp experience, some becoming camp counselors. It is my commitment to you that your camper will be at a safe and enriching camp. Those within our camp family will enjoy a summer filled with adventures. Our responsible, outgoing and fun camp counselors will lead by example ensuring we provide campers with a journey to foster independence, build social skills, create friendships, and become leaders. I look forward to watching campers discover a sense of belonging as they try new things, grow and learn over the summer. The QUINCY YMCA hosts a wide range of traditional camps, art camps, sports camps and specialty enrichment camps at Eastern Nazarene College, Quincy, and at Blue Hills Technical School and Massasoit College in Canton. Please visit us online at http://ssymca.org/camps/day-camps/ for more information about camp. —Your Day Camp Director, Phil Gay, philg@ssymca.org

big brothers big sisters Ages 7–18 Every child can benefit from having a dedicated friend outside of the family, someone who is there for that child and spends time with him or her because they want to. The SOUTH SHORE YMCA has partnered with Big Brothers Big Sisters in Boston to offer a traditional one-to-one mentoring program for youths in the Quincy area. To learn more, please contact Phil at ext. 4712.

Ages 18+ Being a “Big” is one of the most enjoyable and rewarding things you’ll ever do. As a Big, you get to be a kid again for a couple of hours every couple of weeks and in the process change a kid’s perspective on life.

Come Feel the Spirit at CAmP BurGeSS & HAYwArD Established in 1928, the SOUTH SHORE YMCA Camp Burgess for boys and Hayward for girls are located on Cape Cod, just one hour south of Boston, and situated on over 300 acres of forests, meadows and sparkling freshwater ponds. Camp offers a variety of enriching programs throughout the year appealing to all ages and interests.

“First Dip”

Since 1982, the Germantown Neighborhood Center (GNC) has been providing critical support services, needed resources, programs and workshops to the youth and families of the Germantown and neighboring communities of Quincy. Located within one of Quincy’s largest public housing developments, the GNC serves a community of mostly low-income, singleparent households and works with support and guidance from the SOUTH SHORE YMCA to identify and develop strategies to address community needs. Our youth programs give kids a safe environment where they can grow and learn positive values that they will carry with them for a lifetime. Our after school youth programs run from September to June and include: Sports Blast, Fun Size Fitness, Reading Round Up, Dancing Divas and Girl Scouts to name a few. School vacation camps run during February, April and during the summer months for grades K–12. Women’s programs are designed to get women out of the house and build relationships with other women who are in the same situation. Childcare and dinner are often provided. Women are encouraged to bring the whole family while mom engages in skill-building workshops with other women. Our Family Lifelong Learning programs encourage literacy and educational achievement through our GED programs, or Teen Success programs. Our food pantry serves residents all over the City of Quincy with food assistance. We continually work to raise more money, add more programs, and do all that we can to help. Our programs and services work toward giving community members the skills, confidence, and resources to take action and improve their lives.

Speed Training for Runners

Are you running on the same roads or treadmill at the same speed every day? If so, you’re using the same muscles in the same manner every time you lace up your sneakers. Whether you run short or long distance, 5Ks or marathons, you cannot rely solely on easy to moderate intensity. In order to become a faster runner and improve your overall fitness, you have to incorporate speed workouts. Join a supportive group of runners of all abilities and train on the outdoor track with a focus on sprinting for efficiency, flexibility, coordination, muscle power and speed.
