CSB is the place to be! Counselors and campers from all over journey to YMCA

Camp Silver Beach to make memories and friendships that last a lifetime. Set

on 151 acres on the scenic Chesapeake Bay, you will experience water and land

activities that will encourage and challenge you along the way. These include

swimming, sailing, boating, climbing, skating, arts, science, drama and more.

What award tags will you earn?

Campers enjoy fun-filled events including cabin nights, talent shows, ice cream

socials, camp fires, house days and more. Will you be in the house of Fire Fly,

Blue Crab, Pine or Osprey?

The Credle Impact Garden is a historical reminder of the mark each person has

made on YMCA Camp Silver Beach, while taking a part of camp with them as

they go out and spread the magic of this place. When it is time to reflect on

your CSB experience, what legacy will you leave behind? What cherished memo-

ries will you take with you?

I can’t wait to welcome you to camp!

Danny Vestal, Executive Director

At YMCA Camp Silver Beach, everything’s included—all your favorite foods, all

your favorite sports and even all your favorite colors (if you like green trees,

blue water and golden sunsets, that is). Located on Virginia’s Eastern Shore,

YMCA Camp Silver Beach is 151 amazing acres filled with forests, trees and

wetlands and is surrounded by the seriously beautiful Chesapeake Bay. This

is true paradise—and best of all, it’s just for kids and teens (and, okay, some

pretty awesome counselors, lifeguards and instructors too).

At YMCA Camp Silver Beach, we go deep—way deep. You name the

water sport, we’ll name you ten more: paddle boarding, sailing,

tubing, water skiing, banana boating, kneeboarding, wakeboard-

ing—hey, we could keep this up all day. And speaking of all day,

you’ll find eagle-eyed CSB lifeguards and water safety instructors

on duty at all times. They know how to make it fun and keep it safe.

After all, each one undergoes hours of training and practice with

the nation’s premiere water safety organization—that’s right: the Y.

ExPLORE NEW DEPTHS

“Camp Silver Beach to me is like a whole new world. A world where all you’re concerned about is staying on the banana boat and what’s for lunch. It’s an escape.” –Sarah, age 14

REACH NEW HEIGHTSYou’re always up for a challenge, right? Imagine you, a harness and rope, some

safety gear and a heart-pounding climb 55-feet straight up to the sky. That’s

our Alpine Tower adventure. Not to worry, our counselors have their feet on

the ground and know just what to do to encourage you and keep you safe. Now

picture yourself showing off your kickflips at Olliewood, CSB’s skate park. At

Camp Silver Beach, you’ll develop trust and discover just how easy it is to handle

life’s little ups and downs when we’re all in it together.

“CSB means challenging myself and having fun. It means making new friends and trying new activities. It means making lasting memories.”–Soraya, age 13

“Camp has taught me to try things I’d never be able to do, to be accepting of people who aren’t like me and to go out of my way to be friendly. Camp has most definitely made me a better person.” –Sara, age 15

Looking for a nice, lazy day by the pool? Okay, but good luck just

lounging around when there’s a big water volleyball game going

on and they’re yelling for you to join in, or your friend’s knees are

knocking as she gets ready for her first 90-foot slide down Wet

Willie, or the spray park is calling your name under the sultry summer

sun. You can relax later. For now, you’ve got two magnificent pools

and a heart-thumping water slide calling your name.

SPLASH!

We’re wild about wildlife at YMCA Camp Silver Beach. You’ll love

discovering nature’s hidden treasures in the water and woods. In fact,

everything at camp is about discovery. Picture yourself tie-dying a

tee. Taking up karate. Trying your hand at a new skill like archery.

And, of course, talking about your awesome day over s’mores at our

nightly campfire.

DISCOVER

Bring your courage and get ready for an

adrenalin-pumping journey that begins high

atop the trees. Composed of steel cables

and platforms, our CSB zip line is an exhila-

rating 45 feet high, 400 feet long line that

takes you on a high-speed ride through the

heart of camp. Safety always comes first

and all campers will be outfitted in safety

gear by our certified guides and instructed

on zip line basics from helmet to harness.

Campers will learn to conquer fears, trust

others and communicate as they take on

this exhilarating challenge.

Ski School is in session at CSB. For just a little extra, you’ll get one-on-

one instruction in kneeboarding, wakeboarding, water skiing and more

from YMCA and Coast Guard-trained counselors. You’ll enjoy flat water

skiing and develop new skills as your session progresses. In our school,

everyone excels.

Ready to make a difference in the world and enjoy all the fun of camp? Teen Adventure

Camp for ages 13–16 and our Leadership Development Program for rising 10th and 11th

graders is just the thing to create a perfect and meaningful summer.

These three-week programs are filled with adventure and leadership development,

preparing teens from all around the world for college and beyond through challenging team

activities and relationship building. Teen and Leadership campers form a community of their

own while growing individually. Whether it’s helping with a variety of service projects, such

as hosting a carnival for kids in hospice or learning what it takes to be a counselor, at Camp

Silver Beach, teens work together to give back and have a great time doing it.

LEAD THE WAY TO A BRIGHT FUTURE

“After my experience at Camp Silver Beach, I plan on finding a Food Bank near my home so I can get a chance to give back to the needy.” –Josh, age 11

Our new House Tradition gives the campers, new or returning, young or old,

a sense of belonging here at CSB that will continue throughout their camping

years. Our houses, Osprey, Firefly, Pine and Blue Crab, all have their own spirit.

This unique set-up provides leadership opportunities for the older kids, and a

chance for children of all ages and backgrounds to build relationships that can

last a lifetime.
