Why choose Camp Hazen YMCA

for a Leadership Program?

 

 

Help you identify your strengths

Increase your self confidence

Great Leadership opportunities

Provide you a chance to work with positive young adult role models

Allow you to be yourself without the expectations of their everyday lives

This is Camp Hazen YMCA's 90th year of creating experiences where campers learn swimming, canoeing, field sports, archery, outdoor education, drama and the arts.  However, as the thousands who have attended Hazen throughout the years know, camp is so much more than that.

As a result of the community formed during a summer session, you will gain  experiences that your friends at home may not have.  These positive experiences give you the confidence to excel in other parts of your life.

Camp is a year-round education.  A camp experience will bolster socialization skills, provide opportunities for leadership development and help you to achieve their full potential.  Though not academic, you may learn more about yourselves in our LEAdership Programs than throughout the entire rest of the year.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our Philosophy

Camp Hazen YMCA's philosophy is to utilize our numerous programs to provide individual participants with the opportunity to be a vital part of the larger community.  Through group work, campers grow individually in confidence, connectedness and sense of purpose.  Our experience shows that this process enables young people to acquire the skills needed to manage the numerous challenges of adolescence.  It also focuses on assets that are important for success in life.
