Family Camp

We are restructuring our camp programs. Please check back next year for information about family program offerings. 

About Family Camp: Our mission guides us to not only work with youth but also with the key systems affecting their lives. Family Camp is one way we do this.

Family Camp is open to children ages 6-18 and their parents. Take part, as a family, in Y Day Camp activities like archery, canoeing, nature, arts & crafts and free swim. We provide staffing for the entire camp experience, with skilled guidance at each activity area. Family Camp is led by Sean Fortier (MWYMCA Program Director and Y Day Camp Director), Sue Fortier (MWYMCA Executive Director), and other Y Day Camp staff.

Families supply their own food and beverage.

Space is limited to ten families. Enrollment closes on 7/1. Family Camp will be held rain or shine (a good adventure doesn't yield to bad weather!).

The fee for Family Camp is sliding scale: $25-$100/family, you choose. Financial Assistance is available.
