Overnight camping helps young people discover who they are.

Trained, caring counselors offer a supervised and positive environment for youth and teens to "spread their wings." Through a variety of activities, campers learn values and character-building skills that prepare them for a lifetime of challenges ahead. Your child's summer camp experience reinforces the YMCA four character values - honesty, caring, respect and responsibility.

At the beginning of each session, counselors (many of whom were once campers themselves!) wait to welcome campers and parents. Some campers are eager to see friends from last summer; some are nervous about leaving home; some are excited to try new adventures. All are welcome at camp.

It is not long before your child discovers the wonders and fun of overnight camp. Hiking trails echo with laughter, hushed whispers reveal secrets being shared, campers splash each other at the waterfront and cheers of victory spill from the sports fields. Campers soon have new friends, renewed self-confidence, and a sense of independence - all adding up to fun memories that last a lifetime.
