Camp Bernie is looking better than ever after Beautification Day on May 11th! ✨

From painting projects and powerwashing to cleaning up and beautifying our new beach area, our volunteers rolled up their sleeves and made camp shine just in time for summer!

We are so grateful for the incredible teamwork of campers, families, board members, camp staff, and volunteers, who gave their time, energy, and camp spirit to help make it happen!

We can’t wait for everyone to see all the hard work in person this summer! ☀️

Hi! My name is AJ, and I'm the new Summer Camp Director at YMCA Camp Bernie. I started here at the beginning of March, and although this will be my first summer at Bernie, it will be my 10th year working at camps. My favorite memory across the camps I've worked at is sitting around the campfire I made with friends, eating s'mores. I love summer camp because it brings people together, and it is a place where everyone is welcome. I'm looking forward to making lasting memories with campers and staff, as well as learning all the Bernie traditions!

Watch this space, tomorrow we’ll be announcing more staff!
