All children need to be toilet trained and are required to bring a full change of clothes to camp during their sessions. Explorers (Entering Grades K-1st) Campers participate in a variety of activities and programs. Explorers discover camp through arts and crafts, nature projects, sports, games, swim lessons, recreational free swim, beach play, and more. The explorer program is designed to meet the unique social, emotional, intellectual, and physical needs of a younger camper. Voyagers (Entering Grades 2nd-3rd) The tradition continues! Voyagers are off to discover new areas of camp as they have the opportunity to try out the climbing tower. Arts and crafts, sports, games, swim lessons, and recreational swimming are just part of the continuing tradition. Campers are challenged to learn new skills and try new activities.

The YMCA of Metro Chicago has five resident camp options in beautiful pristine areas sure to provide special memories that last a lifetime. YMCA Camp Duncan Since 1921, Camp Duncan has provided safe, quality camping programs for boys and girls ages seven to 15 and Teen Adventure Camps for 15 to 17 year olds. All activities are geared to the developmental level of the campers. Camp Duncan is a co-ed, summer resident camp located near Fox Lake, Illinois, on 278 acres.

The camp offers fun and challenging activities such as swimming, climbing, boating, kayaking, archery, hiking, and much more. We also leave room for plenty of traditional programs, including sing-alongs, campfires and campouts. YMCA Camp Pinewood Traditional but up-to-date, Camp Pinewood features 16 cabins on a private, spring-fed lake, with every activity from sailing to horseback riding. The camp is nestled in the heart of the Manistee National Forest near Muskegon, Michigan. It s convenient but remote enough to ensure that everyone enjoys the natural beauty of the camp s 200-acre facility. YMCA Family Camp Nawakwa Family Camp Nawakwa offers a unique experience- an opportunity to bring together whole families, not just children, through camping. The camp sits on 180 acres of pristine forest lands, and includes wetlands and lakes with abundant wildlife. The camp is nestled in Lac du Flambeau, Wisconsin, which is home to the Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians. YMCA Camp Independence Camp Independence is a special place for campers age seven and up with spina bifida and other neurological disabilities. At camp kids become a community as they learn both how to be more independent and how to contribute to a group. At camp, we teach self-reliance, a love for nature, and the development of attitudes and practices that build character. Our counselors are dedicated to making sure camp is an amazing experience for every camper.
