Metropolitan YMCA of the Oranges’ Post

For those who know me, when I was young I attended many day camps and I can share with you all the importance of children attending a summer camp. Not just for fun, but to really learn to embrace how to become a good human being. Skills and values learned in camp are not just limited to learning to win but also handling to manage oneself if you are losing. Making friends with all different types of kids, dealing with and managing ones self in social situations, learning teamwork, accountability, sportsmanship and of course have fun with all of the above! One of the core goals of the YMCA is to have children work on “Developing Social Responsibility.” Today was a wonderful event that Optimum was able to help sponsor: “Camp 4 A Cause” as the acting theme behind today’s Field Day. Three different YMCA camps came together to have a friendly competition. I had the opportunity to assist at the GAGA pit ❤️ the kids had a blast, the volunteers had so much fun from watching the kids and most importantly- the weather cooperated - no rain today! Proud of those kids! They all did amazing and were such balls of energy! It was fantastic to hear how many kids were helped from Optimum’s sponsorship. It warms my heart when kids are involved and I’m super proud to be with my company.
