International Programs
One of the goals of Silver Bay is to foster a concern for the world.  Our international programs make real steps to making the world a better place.  Some of the most memorable experiences for those who come to Silver Bay are those formed through their relationships with our International Emps.  This last summer we had young people working at Silver Bay from over 20 different countries.  Silver Bay also has sent young people to work in YMCAs in China and Sri Lanka as part of our partnership with YMCAs in those countries.
