CAMP ADVENTURE
Camp Adventure is a fun and exciting summer experience where
boys and girls, can make new friends, learn new skills and
have a great time both in and outdoors.
The heart of the Camp Adventure experience is the small
close-knit group of 10-12 campers who, together with their
counselor, plan and carry out a variety of activities such
as recreational swimming in the Y pool, hiking, singing,
outdoor cooking, crafts, field trips, nature studies, inspirational
times, group games and sports are designed to ensure success,
confidence and self-esteem, which are fundamental in all
YMCA youth programs.
While most of the time is spent in small groups, campers
also plan times which larger groups or the entire camp will
get together for special events. Since campers are involved
in the planning, each week of camp is unique; no two sessions
are exactly alike.
LOCATION
Camp Adventure will be located at the Blakley Family YMCA
and the camp will be both indoors and outdoors. Regular campers
should be dropped off at the YMCA by 9:00 a.m. and picked
up from the YMCA by 4:00 p.m. An extra fee is charged for
