YMCA of the Seven Council Fires

Healthy living - the organization is a leading voice on health and wellbeing. It brings families closer together, encourages good health and fosters connections through after school programs, day camps, summer camps, and participating in local community events. As a result, people in the community are receiving the support, guidance and resources they need to achieve greater health. This is particularly important as our nation struggles with an obesity crisis, families struggle with work/life balance and individuals search for personal fulfillment.

Social responsibility - the organization believes in giving back and supporting the community. the organization purchases local artists' work and sells the art work at the Ymca location. the pieces are only marked up enough to cover expenses. This is a way in which the organization helps those within the community thrive as well as shares the native american culture. the organization also houses various teen and college volunteer groups. These groups help with various projects at our main location and at camp. During their time of volunteer work, these groups are educated about native american culture. the organization has a continued goal to engage the community, staff, and volunteers in activities that strengthen the community and pave the way for future generations to thrive.

Youth development - the organization is committed to nurturing the potential of every child and teen. the organization believes that all kids deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve. the organization helps young people cultivate the values, skills and relationships that lead to positive behaviors, better health and educational achievement. the organization's programs, such as, daycare, after school, day camp, and summer camp, offer a range of experiences that enrich social, physical and emotional growth.
