All children need to be toilet trained and are required to bring a full change of clothes to camp during their sessions. Explorers (Entering Grades K-1st) Campers participate in a variety of activities and programs. Explorers discover camp through arts and crafts, nature projects, sports, games, swim lessons, recreational free swim, beach play, and more. The explorer program is designed to meet the unique social, emotional, intellectual, and physical needs of a younger camper. Voyagers (Entering Grades 2nd-3rd) The tradition continues! Voyagers are off to discover new areas of camp as they have the opportunity to try out the climbing tower. Arts and crafts, sports, games, swim lessons, and recreational swimming are just part of the continuing tradition. Campers are challenged to learn new skills and try new activities.

Throughout the program, campers participate in a wide variety of camp activities including challenge courses, team sports, boating, team building and swimming. Leaders in Training Program (LIT) (Entering Grades 9th-10th) This two-week program is designed to help young adults develop the leadership skills and experience they need to become future camp counselors.

We also leave room for plenty of traditional programs, including singalongs, campfires and campouts. YMCA Camp Pinewood Traditional but up-to-date, Camp Pinewood features 16 cabins on a private, spring-fed lake, with every activity from sailing to horseback riding. The camp is nestled in the heart of the Manistee National Forest near Muskegon, Michigan. It s convenient but remote enough to ensure that everyone enjoys the natural beauty of the camp s 200-acre facility. YMCA Family Camp Nawakwa Family Camp Nawakwa offers a unique experience- an opportunity to bring together whole families, not just children, through camping. The camp sits on 180 acres of pristine forest lands, and includes wetlands and lakes with abundant wildlife. The camp is nestled in Lac du Flambeau, Wisconsin, which is home to the Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians. YMCA Camp Independence Camp Independence is a special place for campers age seven and up with spina bifida. At camp, kids become a community as they learn both how to be more independent and how to contribute to a group. We teach self-reliance, a love for nature, and the development of attitudes and practices that build character. Our counselors are dedicated to making sure camp is an amazing experience for every camper. ymcachicago.org/overnightcamp
