YMCA CAMP CAMPBELL TRADITIONAL OVERNIGHT CAMPS

OUR PROGRAM Our two-week program emphasizes growth and strengthening character values in all campers. Throughout the program, campers learn more about themselves and how to work together as a cabin group. Whether it is playing an all-camp game, learning new skills in an activity session, eating meals in the dining lodge, or dressing up for our Wacky Tacky Tuesdays, campers form meaningful relationships, try new things, and have tons of fun.

Camp is full of traditional outdoor activities like campfires, hikes, skits and songs, cabin cheers, and the chance to sleep under the stars. Over two weeks, campers disconnect from the technology and distractions of outside life. Here at camp, our number one priority is providing a safe, positive camper experience. We believe that campers are most successful when given the opportunity to push themselves out of their comfort zones and discover resiliency, responsibility and confidence in themselves.
