Y camps are for every child and youth in our communities.
Because camp can have a profoundly positive and lasting effect on children, we are dedicated to ensuring that as many kids as possible have access to a Y camp experience.
Y camp programs blend fun and adventure in an environment of respect, honesty, caring, responsibility, and inclusion. Using the natural surroundings as the basis for our programs, our camps offer a place of belonging where lifelong friendships are developed and where children learn new skills in a safe, fun and supportive environment.
