Today, summer camp staff from the Greater Waterbury YMCA joined other camps from across Connecticut at YMCA Camp Yankee. Our staff received a wealth of knowledge to bring back and make our camp programs better!

On top of that, some of our leadership team presented topics to other camps, including camp counselor 101 and behavior re-engagement!

Lastly, it wouldn’t be a camp story without talking about the lasting impact camp has. In the last photo you will see Adam, our Outdoor Center Director, with Justin and Tom from YMCA Camp Sloper Outdoor Center, Ben from YMCA Camp Ingersoll and Alex from Camp Hazen YMCA! This group is what building relationships at camp is all about, together they share over 20 years of camp knowledge, but more importantly share amazing friendships!

Now imagine them coming home with stories they’ll remember for the rest of your life.

Summer is getting closer, and spots are filling quickly. Give your child a summer they’ll never forget. ❤️ (Your camper could be any of the ones below building friendships, going on adventures, and creating lasting memories!)
