Did you know the YMCA operates a youth camp and retreat center less than 30 miles from SaddleBrooke, just on the other side of the Catalina Mountains? With a plethora of activities that includes archery, horseback riding, swimming, ziplining, and more, the Triangle Y Ranch camp provides an exciting yet peaceful getaway for kids of all ages.
Preparing for camp every year is no small job, which is why Rotary clubs from across greater Tucson get together every spring to help complete high priority projects in advance of the busy summer season. This year’s Tri-Y work day fell on April 4, which proved challenging overall due to Easter weekend conflicts, but the SaddleBrooke Sunrise Rotary Club still sent a team to work alongside other local Rotarians and members of YMCA leadership.
From trimming trees to whacking weeds, this small but mighty group succeeded in preparing key areas across the grounds to receive young, excited campers and their counselors. While there is always more to be done, Tri-Y gratefully appreciated everyone’s efforts! You can learn more about the Triangle Y Ranch camp at https://tucsonymca.org/triangle-y-camp-retreat-center/.
Additionally, you can learn more about the SaddleBrooke Sunrise Rotary Club by visiting its website at https://saddlebrookesunriserotary.org or sending an email to saddlebrookesunriserotary@gmail.com.
