WHERE ADVENTURE BEGINSOvernight CampYMCA CAMP SILVER BEACH
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).
YMCA CAMP SILVER BEACH— DREAM DESTINATION ON VIRGINIA’S EASTERN SHORE
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.
SOAR
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.
SKI SCHOOL
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.
TRADITION
FOLLOW THE LEADER That’s easy when they’re the well-trained, well-traveled YMCA Camp Silver
Beach counselors. Our energetic staff includes Coast Guard and American
Sailing Association-trained counselors, international counselors and college
students.
Thanks to our 4 to 1 camper to staff ratio, there’s always someone there to
lend a hand or an ear.
STAY SAFEHave no fear, mom and dad; the CSB Health Center is on call 24/7. Fully licensed
nurses and doctors are always on hand to mend the bumps and bruises.

Admission as a Camp Silver Beach camper carries many privileges and responsibilities. We expect campers to participate in the total life of camp—to work, play and live together. We do not allow
the use of tobacco, alcohol, illegal drugs, or weapons (other than arrows and rifles provided for camp activities under staff supervision). Application signifies understanding and acceptance of
these responsibilities; violators will be dismissed without a refund. In addition, should a behavior or discipline problem affect our work with other campers or their enjoyment of Camp Silver Beach,
we reserve the right to dismiss those campers responsible, without refund.

programs and activities.
