Happy New Years!!
It is with a heavy heart we inform our Camp Oakes family that Gerardo, Gerry, Rangel has passed away. Gerry has been a big part of the camping world as well as part of the YMCA from counselor, to program staff, to after school care. Over the last 15 years his dedication and commitment to staff, and campers is unmeasurable. Please keep Gerry’s family in your thoughts and prayers in this time of need. If you would like to donate, please follow the GoFund link set up by his family. https://gofund.me/ccd452b8

YMCA Camp Oakes va a participar en los Cinco Días de Acción, del 26 al 30 de Octubre de 2020. Cinco días de acción es una semana dedicada a concientizar e inspirar a los adultos a tomar medidas para proteger a los niños contra el abuso sexual. YMCA Camp Oakes alienta a los adultos y las organizaciones de la comunidad a desempeñar un papel vital a la hora de lograr que el campamento sea un lugar más seguro para los niños, especialmente en este entorno en constante cambio. Pu...esto que nuestras comunidades siguen con restricción de actividades y distancia social, sabemos que la protección de los niños parece diferente este año. Nuestra comunidad no solo enfrenta una pandemia que separa a los niños que necesitan adultos confiables en sus vidas, sino que hay un aumento significativo de los casos de violencia doméstica, reclamos de justicia social para las personas de tez negra y más preocupaciones sobre la salud mental de jóvenes y adultos. Cinco días de acción ayudará a las comunidades y a los padres/cuidadores a afrontar Un día a la vez y ofrecerá consejos, herramientas, actividades y recursos relevantes para el contexto actual. "El objetivo número uno de cada persona que se preocupe por la salud y el bienestar de los niños debe ser protegerlos del abuso sexual. Juntos, podemos levantarnos para exigir que los niños sean protegidos y alentar a los adultos a lograrlo en nuestra comunidad. Se necesita el esfuerzo de todos nosotros". YMCA Camp Oakes y YMCA Guardians for Child Protection, con el apoyo de YMCA of the USA, Darkness to Light, Redwoods Group Foundation y Praesidium, pusieron materiales a disposición de los adultos para ayudarlos a obtener más información sobre la prevención del abuso sexual de menores. Para obtener más información sobre la prevención del abuso sexual de menores, visite www.fivedaysofaction.org.
ADULTS COMING TOGETHER TO PROTECT CHILDREN FROM SEXUAL ABUSE YMCA CAMP OAKES is participating in the Five Days of Action, October 26-30, 2020. The Five Days of Action is a week designed to raise awareness and inspire adults to take action to protect children from sexual abuse. YMCA Camp Oakes encourages adults and organizations in the community to play a vital role in making camp a safer place for children, especially during this ever-changing environment. As our communiti...es continue to press pause and participate in social distancing, we know that protecting kids looks different this year. Not only is our community dealing with a pandemic that is separating kids in need from the safe adults in their lives, but there are spikes in domestic violence, cries for social justice for Black lives, and more concerns about the mental health of youth and adults. Five Days of Action will help communities and parents/caregivers take it One Day at a Time and will offer tips, tools, activities, and resources that are relevant to the current environment. When adults know how abuse happens, see the warning signs, and respond quickly to prevent abuse, they foster a culture of child abuse prevention. Together, we can bring awareness to the issue of child sexual abuse in our communities and have important conversations around how we can all work together to prevent it from happening. Protecting children from sexual abuse must be the number one goal of every person who cares about the health and well-being of kids. Together, we can stand up to demand that children are protected and encourage adults to make it happen in our community. It takes all of us. YMCA Camp Oakes, with support from the YMCA Guardians for Child Protection, YMCA of the USA, Darkness to Light, the Redwoods Group Foundation, and Praesidium have made materials available to help adults learn more about preventing child sexual abuse. For more information about preventing child sexual abuse visit www.fivedaysofaction.org.

YMCA Camp Oakes and High Trails Outdoor Science School are now in our sixth week of offering our Y Academy program to the students of Big Bear and the program has been a huge success thus far. Special thanks to the Bear Valley School District and to all of the teachers and aids who are working so hard during these trying times. We are in this together, and we can do it!
On this sacred day, we honor the innocent lives lost and recognize the courage of those who made the ultimate sacrifice to save others 19 years ago.
Dear Camp Oakes Families, we are aware and keeping a close eye on the progress of El Dorado Fire. Yesterday, it was reported that a spot fire has crossed over HWY 38 at Angeles Oaks (north east of LL). This led to an Evacuation Order for all areas between Angelus Oaks and Onyx Summit. YMCA Camp Oakes sits on the opposite site of this evacuation order and the fire is not an immediate threat to us or the Lake Williams Community. We will keep monitoring the situation and keep you posted if orders change.
Happy Independence Day everyone!
