Youth Camp
We Create Unforgettable Adventures and Strong, Confident Hearts!
At the Y we offer a variety of camp options for kids! At YMCA Camp Arbolado, campers live in a cabin with about 10 children their own age and two adult volunteer cabin counselors. All of our adult volunteer staff are trained and DOJ background checked. Throughout the Session, the campers will be encouraged to engage with each other, build strong cabin teams, and stronger Hearts.
We believe in creating healthy habits! Meals are served family style and every cabin eats together. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner consist of warm, delicious balanced meals. In addition, we also feature cereal, fruit, and salad bars. Vegetarian options are available at each meal. Fresh fruit snacks are available all day.
Every night, cabin groups have the opportunity to create and perform skits and songs with each other on stage. This is a truly magical activity where a child’s or teen’s confidence blossoms! Under the guidance of trained staff, our ropes course, mountain biking, leadership programs, water activities, and other camp programs foster confidence and independence. Every single staffer or volunteer is committed to seeing your child or teen leave our sessions with not only a big smile, but an even bigger heart!

Leadership comes from the heart!
Leaders-In-Training (LIT)
Learn important life skills while having fun at camp! The LIT program is for boys and girls ages 15 – 17 years old. They are led by a LIT Director and two LIT counselors. The LITs gain valuable real-world experience in Public Speaking, Communication, and Leadership.
LITs will participate in traditional camp activities as well as leadership workshops and mentoring opportunities throughout the week. While it is not necessary for a LIT to become a future counselor, much of the practical experience and skills learned will be aimed toward that possibility.
Financial Aid
It is our belief that any child who wishes to experience YMCA Camp Arbolado should have the opportunity. In addition, we are happy to offer Financial Assistance to those in need, and we will do our best to ensure your child or children can go to Camp.
