Why send your child to Camp Hazen YMCA? 
Help them develop new and
better friends
Increase their self confidence Give them stronger coping skills Provide them with positive young adult role models Allow them to be them self 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, your child gains experiences that peers at home may not have. These positive experiences give your child the confidence to excel in other parts of their life. Camp is a year-round education. A camp experience will bolster student socialization skills, provide opportunities for leadership development and help campers to achieve their full potential. Though not academic, your child may learn more about themselves in two weeks than throughout the entire rest of the year.
