YMCA Camp Gorham

Costumes and face paint are highly encouraged at camp! Camp is the place to be completely yourself, dress up for epic theme days, and make memories with friends who love the fun just as much as you do.

As you pack your bags for Camp Gorham, don't forget to toss in your favorite goofy hat, tutu, or spirit gear!

Two wheels, endless paths, and pure adventure. Happy World Bicycle Day!

There is a special kind of freedom that comes with exploring the wild on a bicycle. It takes you deeper into the woods, pushes your limits, and builds a massive sense of Achievement when you clear that tough hill or master a new trail.

The Summer 2026 Bucket List starts now.

Every summer at camp brings a brand-new chance to push your limits, try something wild, and discover a whole new sense of Wonder.

Will this be the year you finally hit the bullseye? Dominate the Gaga pit? Master the portage on an AWE trip? Or finally learn how to build a fire by friction?

Let’s build the ultimate hype checklist. Comment below with the ONE thing you are most excited to do the second you arrive at camp!

Warning: Life-long friendships ahead.

At camp, a stranger becomes your co-captain, your cabin mate, and your absolute best friend in a matter of hours. There is a unique bond that forms when you share a cabin, conquer a trail, and laugh until your stomach hurts around a campfire.

Whether you’re returning to reunite with your old camp crew or coming solo ready to find your people—there is a space saved just for you in this community.

Returning campers: Tag the camp friends you can’t wait to hug on Day 1!

Close your eyes and imagine this...

The rhythmic splash of paddles hitting Darts Lake. The distant echo of a cabin cheer across the sports field. The crackle of a campfire under a sky full of Adirondack stars.

We are weeks away from trading notifications, alarms, and screens for the sounds of pure Fun and Belonging. The woods are quiet right now, but they won't be for long!

It’s getting real!

The packing lists are printed. The flashlights have fresh batteries. The tie-dye is folded. In just a few short weeks, these bags will be unpacked into cabins, and the best days of the year will officially begin.

👉 Campers: What is the one absolute must-have item you are packing this year? Let us know below!

What is the "Gorham Glow"? ✨

It’s what happens when a child spends a week immersed in Caring, Honesty, and Connection. It’s the quiet confidence a camper gains when they conquer a fear on the trail, and the deep sense of Belonging that comes from a cabin community cheering them on.

We don't just fill your camper's days with activities; we invest in their character. They arrive as campers, and they leave as leaders. That is the real return on investment.
