Snow Day! "There is about 27 inches of snow across the camp (deeper in some places) with another 1-2 feet expected on Thursday and Friday. Fernando and a couple of volunteers have done an amazing job plowing roads and checking buildings. It is about 18 degrees, but sunny today, which will be nice for shoveling snow away from buildings." - Jeff Darling, Vice President of Camping Services... We can't wait to see all our Y campers, volunteers and staff back at YMCA Camp Whittle. We miss you so much!

Americans on either side of the political spectrum have increasingly been unable or unwilling to find a common ground. Join our guests and Teens & Government President in a discussion on healing and unity Uniting Our Nation Divided"
