Brendan Casey is the Director of Day Camps for the Quincy

Branch and oversees both our Quincy and Canton sites.

Brendan has been with the Y since 2004, primarily in a camp

leadership capacity. He is no stranger to summer camp.

Starting as a three year old camper, he has worked his way

through the camper, Counselor in Training, Counselor and

Director ranks — not missing a summer since his first

experience 29 years ago. Brendan is a graduate of Bucknell

University and is currently pursuing a Masters of Education,

with a concentration in Experiential Learning.

Welcome to Camp! — from the director

Each summer at the South Shore YMCA, Summer Day Camps

are specifically designed to provide a safe and fun environment

to offer opportunities for young people to try new things, learn,

grow, and make friendships that last forever. Our philosophy

is that we must make the most of our opportunity to have a positive influence

on the lives of children. Everything we do here at camp—every activity we

lead, every decision we make, every policy we apply—is guided by the firm

belief that we are responsible for the children we lead. We are responsible

for showing them how to be honest, caring, respectful, and responsible

members of the community.

Sure, camp is a time to enjoy the warm summer sun, hang out with friends,

swim, be active and take part in some pretty cool activities, but there’s more

hiding behind the curtain. Camp is a place for children to make friends, to

try new things, to explore, to take risks, to actively use their imagination and

to be themselves. Add the support and encouragement of positive adult

role models, and all these ingredients come together to boost confidence,

self-esteem, social skills, and overall emotional intelligence.

Whether you are a seasoned camper, new to the South Shore YMCA

Summer Day Camps, or to the camp experience, we welcome you and look

forward to another fantastic summer!

—Brendan

safe summerAs summer approaches, children and families prepare to spend more time around water. While

this can be a fun and exciting time, it is also a time for extra caution. Drowning is the 2nd leading

cause of accidental death in children, the risk being highest in toddlers & teen boys. Of all

preschoolers who drown, 70% are in the care of one or both of their parents at the time.

When it comes to drowning prevention, supervision is the most important layer of defense. When

you are enjoying your summer at a pool or the beach keep the following things in mind. Actively

supervise children around water, don’t let distractions even the telephone get in the way. When

there are multiple adults present, designate one to be “on guard”, never assume that someone

else is watching. Be at a “huggable distance” around young children, keeping them within arms

reach at all times. If you own a pool and your child goes missing, check the pool first. Seconds

could make all the difference.

As the Aquatics Director and a parent of two young

children, I am frequently asked what I would recom-

mend as a swimming aid for children. Often families

rely on inflatable or foam filled toys such as swimmies,

noodles, and tubes to help their children in the water.

While these devices are fun for children, they should not be used as a water safety device.

The best Personal Floatation Device (PFD) for non and beginner swimmers is a properly

fitted Coast Guard approved life jacket. Lifejackets are also a must when boating. Remember

to not just pack it, but wear your life jacket.

We hope that your family has an enjoyable and safe summer. Keep in mind when around

the water, Safety First, Second and Third.

Yours truly,

Stephanie Higgins

New Location… same Great Camp!

…at eastern Nazarene College! Welcome to camp! With construction of the new building taking place on our former camp grounds, we are excited

to tell you about the next chapter of our summer camp programs in Quincy. Starting this summer, our Quincy camp will

be located at Eastern Nazarene College — a mere 5 minute drive from the Y on East Elm Ave. Each and every time we

visit the campus, we continue to get more and more excited about the future of camp. The space is extremely camp

conducive and offers us many options not possible during our time at the Y.

The campus is the perfect size — small enough to be well-contained, yet large

enough to give each activity dedicated space. On warm, sunny days, there is

plenty of wide open field space as well as smaller, shaded grass areas. On rainy

days, we have access to numerous classrooms, multipurpose rooms, halls and

gym space. As there is not a pool at ENC, we will be transporting campers

to and from the YMCA to ensure campers can continue having instructional

and recreational swim time. Overall, all of us are extremely excited about

the future of camp and even more excited for you to see our new home!

The South Shore YMCA Summer Day Camps are specifically designed

to provide a safe and fun environment to offer opportunities for

young people to try new things, learn, grow and make friendships that

last forever. Our philosophy is that we must make the most of our

opportunity to have a positive influence on the lives of children.

Everything we do here at camp – every activity we lead,

every decision we make, every policy we apply – is guided by

the firm belief that we are responsible for the children we lead.

We are responsible for showing them how to be honest,

caring, respectful and responsible members

of the community.

Or do you just need someone to help you get started in your fitness program? We encourage

you to consider the South Shore YMCA Partnership Program, designed specifically for

persons with physical disabilities who are interested in a structured exercise program.

how to join the partnership program:Call Sheryl Rosa, Partnership Program Director/Disabled Services at (617) 479-8500, ext. 148.

** the Partnership Program is limited to participants without dementia, confusion, Alzheimer’s Disease, medical psychiatric problems, and

intellectual/developmental disabilities. Individuals with mental disabilities are welcome to join the South Shore YMCA on condition that they

provide their own volunteer (i.e. family, friend, day program/group home staff, or care giver). Sheryl Rosa, Partnership Program Director, will

design the member’s exercise program and train the volunteer. Each participant is subject to an assessment of appropriate mental and physical

skills required to safely participate in a physical fitness program at the South Shore YMCA.

Kenny and Benny are brothers who know and appreciate the impact that

the Y has had on their lives. Kenny, who is a camp counselor at the

Quincy Summer Day Camp, loves his job because of the unique job

experiences it provides for his future. He also gets to spend time with

his little brother, Benny, who is one of the campers. Kenny appreciates

all the skills, confidence and self-esteem that Benny has developed at

camp. Knowing the Y provides quality camps with great role models

with fun activities helps this family enjoy their summer together. “It’s a

win, win” situation”.

By supporting the South Shore YMCA’s Annual Support Campaign, we will be able to impact the

lives of children and families in our communities. Many children are not able to enjoy the camp experience during the summer like Benny will have the advantage to enjoy the sunshine, swimming,

sports, camp songs and friendships that make their summer memorable.

Since 1982, the Germantown

Neighborhood Center (GNC) has been

providing critical support services to

youth and families of the Germantown

community of Quincy. The percentage of

people living in poverty in Germantown

is currently four times greater than

in the overall City of Quincy.

A community Neighborhood Council

governs the GNC and works with support

and guidance from the South Shore YMCA

to identify and develop strategies to

address community needs. The Council

has ultimately concluded that in order

for the members of this community to

succeed in improving their lives and

those of their families, they must gain the

skills and confidence to take action. Our

programs and services work toward this

end, serving over a thousand adults,

youth, and seniors throughout the year.

Services include the Food Pantry, Holiday

Assistance, Advocacy and Referrals

For further information please call

Kathy Quigley, Director, at (617) 376-1384.
