MBAC's New Summer Staff

Friday is Parent's Day at Camp (and now Parent's Camp Day too!)

Each Friday of camp is Parent’s Day, where parents are invited to observe, or even participate in, your camper’s morning activity.  Typically, during the afternoon, campers go for their last activity together with campmates, leaving parents behind to enjoy the park.  But now there’s another option: a camp activity just for parents.

Camperships Need Your Help!

Did you know that The Watersports Camp offers a financial assistance program to help children from families who cannot afford the full cost of camp?  This year alone, The Watersports Camp Campership grant program has helped over 150 local youth experience the joys of summer camp.  Funding for the Campership program is made possible by the California Department of Boating & Waterways, the California International Sailing Foundation, and the San Diego Yacht Club Sailing Foundation.  However, we are not even halfway through summer and those funds have been exhausted due to the high volume of families in need of financial assistance.  We are seeking contributions from you to help us continue to make The Watersports Camp affordable for all.  You can make a tax-deductible donation online, or you can send a personal check payable to "Peninsula Family YMCA" mailed to P.O. Box 6678, San Diego, CA 92166-0678.  Please write “Camperships” in the memo line of the check so we know to send you a receipt of your donation.  Thank you for your continued support!
