The Compass provides direction for the Friends Forever program. • The Family is True North – the focal point of the program • Nature and the camping experience are an integral part of the program teaching respect for nature and oneself • The spirit of the program is experienced through belonging to a small community of “circles” • Fun is the magic of the program The Y’s core values (Caring, Honesty, Respect, Responsibility) provide directions as parents guide children on their journey. Along the way adults should model, teach and demonstrate these values as well as give children many opportunities to practice and celebrate them.

Initially, these four values provide guidance in helping children select activities, make decisions, and choose appropriate courses of action both in the program and in their lives. The Adventure Guide Program has four different layers of structure that help to organize and facilitate the program. • Guide & Explorer – These are the names for parents and children.

Each person (dad & child) chooses an Adventure Guide name when joining the program. Coming up with an Adventure Guide name is one of the strongest memories of the program for parents and children. It may even take several months to come up with something appropriate and meaningful.

Names should try to stay with the adventure or nature themes. Good examples of names include: Little Snow Bear, Shooting Star, Big Thunder Cloud, Mighty Oak or Little Running Bunny. • Circles – Circles are a group of Guides & Explorers.

Typically Circles are made up of 5-12 families within a school or neighborhood, but not necessarily. Circle groups come up with a name that connects to nature, adventure or their larger Expedition. Good examples of names include: Wolfpack, Rangers, Mud Marlins, Mighty Mariposa or Daughters of Triton. Circles meet regularly, usually monthly, at homes or community locations to complete meeting items and work on the Adventure Guide Curriculum. • Expeditions – Expeditions are groups of Circles organized by gender (i.e.

Typically an Expedition is made up of 4-10 Circles. Expeditions have names also with the adventure or nature theme. Good examples of names include: Mighty Wilderness Expedition, California Wild Expedition, or Great Pacific Expedition. Expeditions host regular events, usually monthly, bringing all Circles together. • Federation– Federations are a group of Expeditions within a region.

Expedition Navigators meet as a Federation to work on joint causes and collaborations. The following is a list of Federations within the YMCA of Orange County: • South Orange County Federation (Laguna Niguel / Mission Viejo / Beach Cities) • Fullerton & Yorba Linda Federation • Newport-Mesa & Huntington Beach Federation. Junior Guides The Junior Guides program is geared toward youth 3-5 years of age. Throughout the program families will engage in activities that promote nature, family, fun and community.

All of these programs are stored in each scientist’s home directory on the Linux system. When you enter the home directory for that user, you notice that there are very few files and only two directories (one named Projects and one named Lab). One scientist has left the company, and you are instructed to retrieve any work from that scientist’s home directory. You are the systems administrator for a scientific research company that employs over 100 scientists who write and run Linux programs to analyze their work.

The Junior Guides program runs from September-June. Each month will bring the opportunity to attend a daytime event or one night sleepover lead by YMCA staff. Examples of events include pool parties, strawberry picking, dances, and sleeping over at a baseball stadium. Families are able to select which events will work in their schedule.
