| Summary |
"The West Suburban YMCA exists because of the vision, commitment, and philanthropy of those involved with the Y in the late 1800s and early 1900s...For more than a century, dedicated staff and volunteers have ensured that Camp Day would become, and maintain, a home-away-from-home for thousands of children and young adults. As the Camp enters its second century, what better way to help inform the future than taking a deep look at the past."-- Provided by publisher. |
