A GIRL SCOUT MEANS BECOMING

A LEADER

Frost Valley YMCA’s mission is to put Judeo/Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy

spirit, mind and body for all. As a not-for-profit 501(c)3 charitable organization, we raise funds throughout the year for camperships that cover the costs of camp for children who would not otherwise be able to attend. Contributions are tax deductible. To help us give the gift of camp to a

child, go to www.FrostValley.org/donate.

Girl Scout Programs FROST VALLEY YMCA SEPT 2015 - JUNE 2016

When a girl becomes a Girl Scout she embarks on a journey that is a commitment to herself, her community, her world, and her fellow Girl Scouts—her sisters. Here at Frost Valley YMCA, we want to help your troop pave the way for a multi-faceted journey rich with leadership, personal growth, and the formation of strong, lifelong bonds. Our eight core values—Caring, Community, Diversity, Honesty, Inclusiveness, Respect, Responsibility, and Stewardship—are the foundation of the comprehensive programming we offer Girl Scout troops so they may continue to build girls of courage, confidence, and character.

Our Main Camp offers availability for up to 650 guests, easily accommodating large councils yet also providing a personalized experience for individual troops. $129 per person includes programs, lodging, and meals.
