The YMCA Adventure Princess Program is made up of parent/child pairs who are grouped into tribes with other parents and their kids from the surrounding community. These groups seek to develop healthy relationships, gain a sense of belonging, and learn the importance of giving back to the community. We accomplish this through one-on-one interactions, activities with other families, and community service projects. Camp Ocoee plans different activities that help build strong bonds between parent and child. These "Nation Events" include two campouts at YMCA Camp Ocoee, a museum lock-in, a father-daughter dance, a community service project and more. The commitment is small: an event every month or so. The payoff is huge!
