INTRodUCTIoN
For more than 125 years, camp has been among the most significant, life-changing and highly
regarded YMCA programs. Year after year we hear stories from campers, parents and alumni
about the profound, positive impact Y camps and staff has had on their lives. YMCA camps
promote sportsmanship, camaraderie, teamwork, commitment, friendship, perseverance,
tolerance and responsibility. Y camps embody excellence in youth development, healthy living
and social responsibility.
While the Y is often associated with camping, we haven’t worked closely together to ensure
that all resident camps within associations, independent camps and conference centers reap
the benefits of our shared, strong market presence until now. Our brand revitalization will allow
us to harness our collective power as “the Y,” be it a large association, a resident camp or an
independent Y.
Strong brands make an implicit promise that resonates with the public and other stakeholders.
They must deliver on their promise in word and deed. This requires consistency in tone,
appearance and message. Too many variations cause confusion. This is why graphic standards
for the Y brand exist—these standards are and will remain the primary resource guide for
camps to use for transition to the new brand.
At the same time, the camp experience is different from the typical YMCA experience. We
recognize that resident camps and conference centers face the challenge of promoting their
unique capabilities and geographic attributes across national service markets, and often within
the same region due to the close proximity of many of our camps to one another. As a result,
we need an application strategy that allows a camp’s spirit to shine through.

and social
responsibility.
INTRodUCTIoN
Recognizing these unique needs, YMCA of the USA (Y-USA) created the Camp Transition
Strategy Task Force. Composed of YMCA resident camp and conference center leaders from
across the Movement, the task force was charged with exploring solutions to these challenges
so that camps can successfully differentiate and market themselves, while remaining compliant
with the Y’s graphic standards. As a result of their hard work and collaboration, this document,
which outlines some camp-specific applications of the Y’s graphic standards, was created.
who ShoULd USe ThIS doCUmeNT?
This document is intended for use by resident camps and conference centers and is not for
use by associations with day camp program offerings. Day camp will follow the same
brand transition plan that your association has developed for all of its programs.
This document is applicable for resident camps that offer day camp as an additional program;
you may use it as a guide for consistently promoting both programs.
Note: Throughout this document, for the sake of brevity, the term ‘camp’ broadly covers both
resident camps and conference centers.

Because all camp collateral and apparel must adhere to the Y’s graphic standards, familiarizing yourself
with the details of the Y Graphic Standards Guide is an important first step. You’ll better understand
the supplemental applications of this document and how to successfully market your camp once you
have a full understanding of the Y brand elements, the visual system and how they are implemented.
This document outlines several style and usage applications for camp marketing communications
collateral, imagery, font, signage, apparel, as well as the option to carry forward heritage logos in
carefully defined ways through 2015. In addition, guidance is given on the use of heritage logos
in limited ways beyond 2015. This document features examples of what some camps have already
done with brand transition and some samples Y-USA created to help generate ideas. All references
noted in parentheses indicate the section within the Y Graphic Standards Guide where you can
find more information. Visit the Brand Resource Center on Exchange to download the complete
Y Graphic Standards Guide.
ComPLIANCe TImeLINe
All Ys, including resident camps and conference centers, need to complete transition to the
revitalized brand by December 2015. For additional support and guidance on implementing
the brand or creating your transition timeline, please visit the Brand Resource Center to find
customizable templates, training and educational tools, and sample work from Ys that have
already begun their transition.
Should you have questions as you move forward, please e-mail theYbrand@ymca.net or

Once a resident camp or conference center has begun its brand transition, its heritage logo may still be used in conjunction with the new Y logo in limited, defined ways.**
A heritage logo is defined as a logo that was used to market resident camps and conference centers prior to July 12, 2010. The red-and-black Y logo and program logos are not considered
heritage logos; therefore, these logos are not to be used. If a heritage logo is altered, this would be considered creation of a new logo and it would no longer be used. (For ease of print
production, a heritage logo may be aligned to the new color palette. Altering the color palette for this purpose is the only change permitted in order for a logo to retain its heritage status.)
•
The Y logo and areas of focus should always lead in
the header or upper quadrant of a layout to be given
prominence.
•
The heritage logo should always be placed in the footer or
lower quadrant.

Camps may use illustrations from the Brand Resource
Center or create illustrations that align with the brand’s
visual identity. Camp-specific illustrations created
with the task force’s guidance have been added to the
Brand Resource Center. Select simple, clean illustrations
that visually complement our logo. Free clip art typically
features visual detail, dimension, drop shadows or outlines,
and will thus rarely align with our visual system.
Illustrations may not be tied to a specific program or
service in such a way that they appear to be used on
an ongoing basis or as a logo or emblem*.

Ys are encouraged to follow the new color palette when
choosing shirt colors. There are 17 colors from which
to choose, and all national preferred vendors adhere to
this palette*. Black is not recommended as it is closely
associated with our former logo and visual identity;
however, charcoal is an acceptable alternative. The final
decision on shirt color is at the discretion of each Y. Ys may
order shirts from a non-preferred or local vendor who has
signed a sub-license agreement.
•
White shirts can feature one of the 2-color logos.
Color shirts can feature the all-white logo*.
•
Please refer to the Brand Resource Center for a list of
preferred vendors to assist you with your apparel needs
and to access the sub-license agreement for local vendors.

Camp signs may be constructed of natural materials,
such as wood or stone. When the sign bears the Y logo,
options include the examples shown at right.
An all-white Y logo on the natural material
An engraved, routed, etched or relief Y logo within the natural material
•

Whenever possible, use Cachet or Verdana fonts on
directional and building signs on camp property. These
signs do not require a Y logo. Cachet or Verdana are
not required on carved, routed or etched signs due to
manufacturer’s limited availability of these two fonts.

Legacy signage and historical displays may remain as
they currently exist. Legacy signage is signage that is
already in place on camp premises. Heritage logos may
be featured in perpetuity on signage or displays when
the camp’s heritage is the context. For example, it would
be appropriate on signage or displays referencing the
longevity of the camp, a historical timeline or legacy
display, or in recognition of alumni.
•
Any legacy signage that is replaced must reflect the
new brand.
•
Entrance signage is not considered legacy signage.
Please see page 22 for more information.

Y-USA created this document to guide the visual application of the Y brand in ways that help camps preserve
some elements of their identities, creatively apply the visual system and remain compliant with the Y’s brand
standards. Feel free to experiment with messaging and design within this framework to ensure that your
materials convey your camp’s unique spirit.
Creating collateral that aligns with the visual system is only one step in your camp’s brand transition. If you
haven’t already, you will want to create a timeline, budget and plan for your camp’s transition. The transition
steps are outlined on the Brand Resource Center. Your plan needs to include:
• Educating and engaging your stakeholders
• Using the touchpoint analysis template to audit materials that need to be revised
• Infusing the Y voice and messaging into communication materials
• Integrating visual system into communication materials
Additional support on implementing the brand, training staff and volunteers or creating your transition timeline,
is on the Brand Resource Center—customizable templates, training tools, and sample work from Ys that have
already begun their transition.
Thank you for your commitment to camping, to the Y, and most of all, to the kids and families who come
back year after year as they have for generations, because they know there’s no camp experience like
a Y camp experience.
