MEET THE DIRECTOR

Stephen Franklin leads our incredible summer camp staff team. Franklin has past experience in YMCA before and after school programs as well as our sports department. His passion for helping children and being involved in his community is unrivaled, and we are so excited to have him guiding the summer day camp experience for Y campers.

"Y camp is truly a great time for kids and it’s built with our community in mind. We understand that a lot of our local families have parents that work full-time, so Y camp provides parents with a safe place to bring their children during the summer. Parents can rest easy knowing that their children will get to have the best summer ever!"
