Camp Pepin

achievement. Our small group philosophy is where campers
can really connect with each other, free from the TV, the
computer or other distractions. Campers have a chance to
make new friends and build social competence. Join us for

VOLUNTEERING & GIVING
Y Pal’s Mentoring Program
Do you enjoy scrapbooking, hiking, biking, hunting,
baseball, or other interests Share them with a local youth
in need of some quality time in the community! We serve
boys and girls ages 6-12. If you can share at least 4 hours
a month, you can expand a child’s horizons. We ask for
a one year commitment. We provide screening, training,
events and support. Sign up today by contacting Katie
Ramstad.
Y’s Men & Women’s Club
The Y’s Men & Women’s Club is the service club which
is open to men and women age 18 and older. Activities
include the Christmas Tree Sale, Challenge Games, clean
up and maintenance at Camp Pepin and various other
projects that benefit kids. If you would like join our club,
contact Tom Carlberg.
Giving to the Y
The YMCA, a nonprofit charity, has been serving our
community for over 140 years. Like their forefathers, the Y
Board of Directors is committed to keeping its membership,
programs and activities accessible to all. Thanks to the
Y Annual Campaign and the Business Partner Program,
we’ve been able to meet the increasing demand for
scholarships and program support to keep our promise to
the community. When most people are asked to help, our
volunteers hear a resounding “YES, I’d love to help this
community gem!”
Y Annual Campaign
With nearly 100 volunteers and over 400 donors supporting
the 2012 Y’s Annual Campaign, they raised over $150,000
for scholarships, programs and building renewal. Together,
they are nurturing the potential of kids, promoting healthy
living, and fostering a sense of social responsibility. They
are providing funds for scholarships and programs for
children, adults and families who would not otherwise be
able to afford Y services. They are helping keep the Y and
Camp Pepin available to all and providing the opportunity
for people of all ages to learn, grow and thrive. Thank you
to our 2012 Annual Campaign donors!

MEMBERSHIP INFORMATION
Our Mission
To enhance the quality of life for individuals and the
community through programs that build healthy spirit,
mind and body.
Our Promise
We are a powerful association of men, women and children
of all ages and from all walks of life joined together by
a shared commitment to nurturing the potential of kids,
promoting healthy living and fostering a sense of social
responsibility. We believe that lasting personal and social
change can only come about when we all work together
to invest in our kids, our health and our neighbors.
That’s why, at the Y, strengthening community is
our cause. Every day, we work side-by-side with our
neighbors to make sure that everyone, regardless of
age, income or background, has the opportunity to
learn, grow and thrive.
Our Areas of Focus
YOUTH DEVELOPMENT: Nurturing the potential of every
child and teen.
HEALTHY LIVING: Improving the nation’s health and
well-being.
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY: Giving back and providing
support to our neighbors.
When you join the Red Wing Family YMCA, you
belong to a place where:
• Parents find a safe, positive environment for children to
learn good values, social skills and behaviors.
• Families come together to have fun and spend quality
time with each other.
• Children and teens play, learn who they are and what
they can achieve, and are accepted.
• Adults connect with friends, pursue interests and learn
how to live healthier.
• Communities thrive because neighbors support each
other and give back.
• We all build relationships that further our sense of
belonging and purpose.
