Your Year-Round Adventure Starts Here!

We’re More than Just a Summer Camp!

In our serene location in the Pinelands, the joy of nature and strength of community come together beautifully. Free from the distractions of everyday life, schoolwork and jobs take pause. Connections are made without cell phones; the sound of songbirds replace the bustle of noisy traffic. Families and groups have the freedom to strengthen their relationships, in simple ways that truly create memorable experiences.

Throughout the year, we offer a host of activities for schools, groups and families, including: environmental education, team-building/challenge course, historical/cultural, adventure, seasonal, etc. Our YMCA affiliation means we include the Y’s six core values – caring, honesty, respect, responsibility, courage and inclusion – in every aspect of our programming. Through safety inspections, staff training and background checks, we strive to ensure the safety and well-being of every child. Our professional staff members provide participants with a positive environment, as well as fun, safe and age-appropriate activities that aim to foster new relationships, build self-confidence and teach new skills. Inclusion, sportsmanship and learning to treat others with caring, honesty and respect are key values that we model for campers. Our programming promotes friendships, positive self-esteem, healthy development and encourages individuality and independence.
