This proposal outlines a budget <br />for a Summer Day Camp collaboration using Orange County Parks and Recreation's facilities <br />and YMCA staff and program supplies. It is our hope that by using the strength of each <br />organization, we can work together and offer a summer day camp that will benefit the children of <br />Northern Orange County. <br />Through this collaboration, CHCYMCA will have the benefit of utilizing the Orange County <br />Parks and Recreation facilities, have the benefit of using the advertising stream provided by <br />Orange County Parks and Recreation and have a new community in which to offer programs. <br />Orange County Parks and Recreation will benefit by providing a reduced rate for camp for all <br />Orange County employees. Additionally, CHCYMCA will advertise all of the Orange County <br />summer programs at the University Mall Camp Fair; and all Northern Orange County residents <br />will have the opportunity to take advantage of the sliding scale through the YMCA scholarship <br />programs. <br />5 <br />It is our hope that together, both organizations can do better than either would be able to do <br />individually, and that this true collaboration will be the start of many opportunities for the <br />YMCA and Orange County Parks and Recreation to offer quality programs for years to come. <br />
