Camp Oakes Summer Camp Testimonial & Update

9 year old Alex attended Camp Oakes this summer, with a little help from the YMCA.  The following is his note of thanks to the YMCA!

“Thank you for sending me to camp.  I had lots of fun!  We went horseback riding, rifelry, archery, canoeing, swimming, and I just had a really fun time.  My counselors were really nice.  We got to have pillow fights!  Love, Alex”.

Oak View Community Center Update

Programs at Oak View Community Center continue to grow!   A new Jiu Jitsu program started this summer!  Volunteers from No Limits Mixed Martial Arts and Fitness are leading instruction in conditioning and martial arts.  The youth at the Oak View Center absolutely love the program.  Between 30 and 100 children attend the weekly sessions.  This program gives these children, who need it most, an additional opportunity to get their bodies moving, and get fit!  The staff at the Community Center is doing a wonderful job.  Maribel Zuniga, Jesse Maldonado, Jose Maldonado and  Eric Alafa are the fantastic staff members serving these youth..  They have implemented Homework Help, so the children have an additional resource to help them be successful in school.  Volleyball and Soccer continue to be the most popular sports activities.  If you would like additional information on the soccer program, please contact Edgar Anzaldo at 714-500-5248, or EAnzaldo@ymcaoc.net
