Mission

Parents and schools need partners in positive youth development. Sherman Lake YMCA is such a partner. Each year the Sherman Lake YMCA strengthens over 8000 children in spirit, mind, and body through positive role-models, providing a safe-environment, teaching life skills, building positive relationships, and empowering youth by giving them a voice. The values of Honesty, Caring, Respect, and Responsibility drive the all programs (summer camp, school programs, character development, YMCA Health & Wellness, and retreats) providing common ground for the youth, families, and organization constituencies. Sherman Lake YMCA Outdoor Center is accessible to all regardless of physical, mental, or financial limitations.
