Impact Afterschool Program
Stories from the Impact Afterschool Program
A student comes everyday to the Impact Afterschool Program at the Visser Family YMCA - Each day, she receives help with homework, participates in an activity, and practices her clarinet. The YMCA staff asked the child what is she going to do this summer. The child replied well this will be the first Summer I am not going to Camp Manitou-Lin. The staff ask way? The student said because we cannot afford camp this year. The staff said "let's see what we can do to help. “ Y Staff worked with others within the Y to find a way to provide a scholarship to help her get to Camp Manitou-Lin. With the help of the funding that events like Buck Creek Run and Run the Rapids, a scholarship was provided so that she could go to camp.
