Community Commitment

YMCA adventure centers are accredited by the American Camping Association (ACA) and are visited every three years to ensure compliance with the ACA standards. This assures you that adventure center practices have been measured against 175 national standards that go beyond our state's basic licensing requirements. ACA-accredited camps voluntarily undergo a rigorous risk-management process to provide a supervised, positive environment with controlled boundaries where children can grow.

We are committed to providing quality programming to all persons.

Some experiences have Participant Requirements — including Essential Eligibility Requirements — to provide for the safety of all participants.

Please get in touch with customer service regarding any disabilities or impairments that may have a bearing on your program involvement, and we will do our best to accommodate you.

The Y offers need-based financial assistance to help individuals and families access the programs that are important to them.

A Community Advisory Board supports every YMCA adventure center. Each board comprises committed individuals passionate about the YMCA mission and adventure center programming.

While programming and operations are determined by YMCA of the North, our community boards are committed to being a strong and inviting community that helps advise, advocate, and support each location's strategic direction and mission delivery.
