WHO WE ARE

A well-trained, enthusiastic staff is the key to a positive camping experience for your child. YMCA Camp staff members are dedicated to providing a safe and wholesome environment for each camper. Camp counselors are chosen for their maturity, strong values, enthusiasm and ability to be positive role models for children. All staff members undergo extensive 8 day training prior to the camp season, emphasizing safety, child growth and development, group dynamics, and much more. Criminal history and reference checks are completed on all staff and volunteers. The entire staff is certified in First Aid/CPR/AED, certified lifeguards supervise all aquatic activities, our Camp Director is a certified EMT, and our camp nurse lives in camp and is available 24-hours a day. Our staff to camper ratio is 1:5 for Mini Camp and 1:7 for all other camps. Every child's saftey and well being is our primary concern.
