A Letter From The Camp Director

A camp experience creates a lifetime of memories. In our youth we are sponges, never knowing at the time, the events and experiences that will help to shape who we are as an adult. A camp experience is a treasure trove of those opportunities.

From the start of the day to the last goodnight, our camp day is filled with teachable moments. Rooted in the Christian principles of the YMCA and the character values of Caring, Honesty, Respect, and Responsibility your child will learn so much more than new skills.

Camp has many great activities that are fun and challenging, but rarely does a former camper say thank you for teaching me to canoe. The memories they speak of are ones of increased self-esteem, learning overcoming a fear, learning to interact with people, learning to serve others, and being more confident.

We strive to take all the learning that happens at camp to a new level. We are certain that if we teach the whole individual we will be helping to make those lifelong memories. In camp’s history we are now serving many second and possibly third generation campers. It is exciting to be a part of something that strives for the goal of helping develop the individual. We look forward to the opportunity to serve you and your family this summer, hoping to be in your future and memories from now on.
