Traditional Camp

Summer 2020 Camp Update: It is with a heavy heart that we share that we have made the difficult decision to cancel all of our sessions of overnight camp at YMCA Camp Shady Brook for the summer of 2020. The safety and health of our campers and our entire camp community is, and always has been, our first priority. To learn more, please visit ppymca.org/summer2020. 
We can't wait to see you in 2021!

One-week Traditional Camp

Ages 8 - 16, one week

For the camper who’s ready to have the full camp experience, one-week traditional camp is the best choice. Each action-packed day is filled with adventure and friendship while your camper does activities they have chosen based on their interests, with mornings dedicated pursuits like archery, kayaking, swimming at the waterfront, orienteering, arts and crafts and Ga-Ga ball – just to name a few. All-camp games, night hikes and, of course, roasting s’mores by the campfire (and more!) await campers in the evenings. All of our activities are counselor-led and designed to give every child the opportunity to learn new skills and build self-confidence.

2020 Session Dates

 
Two-week Traditional Camp

Ages 8-16, two weeks

 
For the camper who wants to try it all, two-week traditional camp offers the widest array of activities and experiences – a little bit of everything! Signing up for two-week camp means twice the fun. Your camper will get to try all the activities they couldn’t fit into their schedule at one-week camp, and can continue building their skills in their favorite activities from week one. Two-week campers will receive priority activity sign-ups during their second week at camp, so they won’t miss out on anything!
