Programs
Not Just Another Summer Camp
The Lake Wenatchee YMCA Camp has many camping programs to suit just about any need. Short summaries are listed below. For more details, click on the program titles to the left.
 
We are committed to providing a safe environment where children can make new friends, experience diversity in a positive setting and learn more about themselves and their place in God’s beautiful world. YMCA Camp programs are challenging, fun, age appropriate, and help campers to grow in Spirit, Mind and Body.
SPIRIT - The YMCA was founded on Christian principles in 1844, and the values of Caring, Honesty, Respect, and Responsibility are stressed in daily chapels, cabin devotions and in every other activity at the Lake Wenatchee YMCA Camp. Campers also have the opportunity to participate in the YMCA Rags and Leathers program, which gives them the chance to make an individual commitment for personal growth over the next year.
MIND - Initiative activities give campers the opportunity to creatively solve problems and develop teamwork and communication skills; arts and crafts, songs and skits allow for creative expression; nature study and ecology teach respect for creation.
BODY - Camp promotes physical fitness through a variety of activities including swimming, fishing, canoeing/kayaking, archery, and hiking. Large and small group games develop coordination and provide exercise. The low ropes course is physically challenging and increases flexibility.
This emphasis on Christian principles and the development of the whole person is what makes YMCA Camp so special!
Summer Camp includes the traditional camping experience for boys and girls from 1st through 12th grades through a variety of programs tailored to the appropriate age group. There are several leadership training programs for grades 9 through 12 and several "specialty camps" including horse camp and art camp. Summer camp is operated in the month of July and the first week of August.
