Summer Resident Camp

Camper Program

 

 

Camp Hazen YMCA has a traditional camping program that allows for all campers to learn great skills and have a lot of fun along the way. 

At Camp Hazen YMCA, we offer four amazing skills program areas and one awesome cabin-based activity program called Quest.  Each camper creates their own schedule by selecting activities within a program area where they would like to learn and grow. 

Creative Arts, Land Sports, Water Sports, and Outdoor Pursuits, each have a variety of skill classes that allow campers to do activities outside of what they could do at home. 

Activities within Quest are decided by all the campers in the cabin and can change based on interest level.  All of Camp Hazen's programs are taught by our energetic, qualified staff members. 

 

 

 

 

 

"This was my daughter's first sleep away camp and she loved everything about it -- the activities, the new friends, the cabin-mates, the counselors.  It was a terrific experience for her.  Her favorite things were climbing the high tower, the campout in the woods, sailing and archery"
