Welcoming Hispanic Families to Summer Camp With the support of the UPS Foundation, the Cowart Ashford Dunwoody,

Robert D. Fowler, Tull-Gwinnett and Ed Isakson Y branches provided summer day camp for up to 8 weeks to Hispanic-Latino children who participated in a school year initiative funded by the Goizueta Foundation. In addition to continuing their affiliation with the Y, this summer bridge program allowed involved youth to continue to enhance language skills and social development in a fun, nurturing camp setting. In total more than 320 weeks of camp were offered. Just imagine all the memories and friendships this experience provided!

Connecting to the Community East Lake Outdoor Youth Development Center The future of the renovated center located on Memorial Drive and the revitalization of the adjacent park is highly anticipated. This collaboration with the City of Atlanta and DeKalb County will make it possible for the Y to offer youth wellness, teen leadership programs and sports activities to the local community. This new facility is expected to serve as many as 300 middle school and high school students during the summer and after school hours. Not only will it be a fun, safe and nurturing environment, but programs and activities will be guided by a Youth Board. The Y facility is scheduled to open by the end of 2012. Wade Walker Park Family YMCA The development of the new full-facility Y at Wade Walker Park in Stone Mountain will be a welcome addition to the surrounding community. This important public-private partnership with DeKalb County creates an opportunity for residents to engage in youth, family and adult programs and activities that emphasize Youth Development, Healthy Living and Social Responsibility. The Y is scheduled to open August 16.
