WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT:

This all-day camp runs from 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM.
Campers will experience traditional camp excitement with a cool new twist each week, including field trips, field games, arts & crafts, nature hikes, STEM projects, canoeing, and more!
Explorers will enjoy three field trips each week. The bus departs at 9:30AM and returns at 3:30PM, except for lengthier trips:
All campers must be checked in by Y Camp Staff.
Campers wishing to swim without a personal floatation device (PFD) will be swim tested.
Camp Counselors are certified in First Aid, CPR & AED, with several being Red Cross Certified Lifeguards. Our staff have also been trained in bullying prevention.
A low camper-to-staff ratio makes our camp a perfect choice for parents who need a fun, safe place for their children during summer break, with safety being their #1 priority
