MEET THE DIRECTOR
Youth and Family Director Tracy Wrase has more than a decade of career experience leading summer camp activities and is excited to start her second year at the helm of the Galowich Family YMCA summer day camp program. We can't wait for all the fun she has planned for our campers!
"I love seeing how the kids grow over the summer and how they get to try new things they may not otherwise have an opportunity to experience. Campers and families can look forward to a variety of new field trips and new additions to our annual camp garden!"
