Summer Camp

Download a 2011 Camp Lakewood Registration Form

At Camp Lakewood, your child can attend our Traditional Summer Camp Program, participate in the Ranger Program, work on leadership skills in our Leadership Development Program, or focus on a special elective of our regular camp program, such as Horsemanship or the Equestrian Elective.

Children ages six to eight can experience a taste of the summer camp program through Mini-Camp. We welcome children of all nationalities and denominations, and pride ourselves on the cultural diversity of our campers and counselors.

The emphasis of our teaching models the four-core values of the YMCA: Caring, Honesty, Respect, and Responsibility.

We offer both one and two-week sessions. During a one-week session each child has four clinic choices (activities, i.e. archery).A two-week session presents each child with eight different clinic choices, offering either more choices, or greater depth of instruction. Two-week campers also receive special weekend programming, the opportunity to deepen friendships newly made, and the opportunity to develop greater personal growth.
