Each Friday starting today until camp starts, we will be introducing 2-3 members of our 2019 Summer Staff. The people introduced here give youth the tools to achieve, belong, grow and build relationships. They exemplify our four core values: honesty, caring, respect, and responsibility in all they do. They teach the importance of these values to our campers and each other every day.
Amiee is going to start things off for us!!
Amiee says:
This will be summer 6 for Old Woodrow. My favorite core value is caring because the most important thing we can do at camp is to be kind to one another and help build each other up. I am most looking forward to seeing our return campers and meeting the new campers because campers are the best part of camp!
Ricky has worked for the YMCA for 30 years and has spent 26 of those here at Mystic! How did he get his start and why does he stay?

I came to camp in the 7th grade with Kinawa Middle School from Okemos- we participated in a 5 day Outdoor Education trip in the winter. I actually remember my counselor's name- Dave Hart. Although he was not a camp employee (volunteer high school counselor through the school) he still had a tremendous impact on all of us in the cabin- by far the best week of my school days! I absolutely love sitting on the front porch and talking to campers and staff as they walk by on their way to and from activities, or take a time out to take a seat as well. I have fostered some great relationships over the years doing this. I cannot wait for all of our campers and staff to arrive- summer camp is the best!
Check us out next Friday to see who else will be around Mystic Lake this summer!
