The YMCA four character values -
honesty,
caring,
respect and
responsibility

Cabin Communities
Unique building block to the overnight camp community is belonging and contributing to cabin life. Campers of similar ages reside in cabins that are equipped with bunks, mattresses, screened windows and doors and electricity. Cabins are grouped to create villages, with bathrooms and shower facilities centrally located. A positive cabin environment encourages group decision making and shared activities, all of which help campers mature and become appreciative of others.

Each day concludes with cabin vespers, a time when campers share experiences and feelings about their day. By the time the lights go out, disagreements are settled and friendships are strengthened.

Camp Directors
Tom Archer takes responsibility for Camp Mi-Te-Na. Tom began attending Camp Mi-Te-Na as a young child and grew from camper to counselor, from program director to assistant director, from director to now, Executive Director of Camping Services. With his leadership, Camp Mi-Te-Na and Camp Foss have grown in the number of facilities, quality of camper experiences, and the number of campers. Tom celebrates over 38 years in resident camping and looks forward to affecting positive changes at camp. Rick Ross has 37 years experience as a camper, counselor and director - all at Camp Mi-Te-Na, where he currently serves as director. Both Rick and Tom use their extensive experience and expertise to effectively prepare camp counselors for your child's camping experience!
