And summer just wouldn't be the same without the excitement and adventure of Y Camp. For more than 95 years, Old Colony YMCA has been providing youth with a camp experience unlike any other.

ACCENT THE POSITIVE...

"People deal too much with the negative, with what is wrong...
Why not try and see positive things, to just touch those things and make them bloom?" - Thich Nhat Hanh

We are very clever at finding everything that is wrong. And once discovered, we get stuck, like a deer caught in the headlights, intensely focusing on it. In order to be kind to ourselves, we need to learn to see our problems in their real context- to open our eyes wide enough to take in all the beauty and joy that is always around us, no matter what else is happening.
