Sign UpThe Y-Braves and Y-Princesses programs, collectively known as Cheerio Nation Y-Guides, have been traditions at Camp Cheerio since 1958. Even before Cheerio began operating as a summer camp, fathers and children from the High Point YMCA would visit the property to camp out for their Spring and Fall Weekends. More than 50 years later our mission remains the same: To strengthen the father/child relationship by providing opportunities for fathers to make lasting memories with their children.
As members of the program, you and your children will be invited to Cheerio Nation events. These include fun activities such as the annual Y-Princess Father/Daughter Dance, twice-yearly Weekends at Cheerio, as well as community outreach projects sponsored by the High Point YMCA. You and your Crew are also enouraged to plan and participate in additional outings and activities outside of the Cheerio Nation planned events.
