                                        WHAT MAKES Y SUMMER CAMP SPECIAL?
                                            Y Camp activities create a foundation for building emotional
                                            intelligence and problem-solving skills in your child.

                                             Y Camps are led by caring and trained youth developers who are
                                            dedicated to bringing out what is special and unique about your
                                            camper.

                                            Integrating activity with nature is a priority that allows your
                                            camper to experience how great it feels to disconnect from
                                            electronics and connect with the great outdoors.

                                            At Y Camp, your camper will gain independence, build confidence,
                                            and develop a sense of responsibility for themselves.
