Camp at the Lake (Traditional)

LOCATION

YMCA Outdoor Education Center
131 Germantown Road, West Milford

This American Camp Association accredited camp provides children with exciting adventures, cooperative learning, and tons of fun! The day consists of a variety of activities in smaller groups that may include arts and crafts, playing sports, catching a fish, paddling a boat, working as a team, archery, exploring nature and science, and more! Instructional swim lessons are offered 3 times per week.  Campers express their creativity, unleash their boundless energy, learn new skills, and develop meaningful relationships.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

A 10% sibling discount will be applied to the child attending the camp with the lowest tuition. If you are eligible for this discount please email us at [email protected] after you have completed the registration process.

FRIEND REQUESTS: At the YMCA, we dedicate ourselves to youth development. Our camps help build confident, resilient, and happy campers by helping them foster new bonds throughout the summer months. In order to foster new authentic friendships and, for the safety of all children, ensure our camper-to-staff supervision ratios, we will not accept friend requests for the 2025 camp season.

DEPOSITS are non-refundable/non-transferrable

Thank you for your understanding.

TRADITIONAL DAY CAMP

Ages 5-6 Entering K-2nd Grade

Experience everything we have to offer by signing up for one or more of our weekly sessions.  Because of our themes, every week at Traditional Camp is completely different, so join us for the entire summer!

Your summer camp experience wouldn’t be complete without taking a dip in our beautiful freshwater lake. Campers get to cool off by enjoying lots of lake time.  Water safety is the Y’s #1 priority, so campers are scheduled for swim lessons Tuesday through Thursday, with free swim on Friday.  Our American Red Cross Certified Lifeguards test every camper’s swim ability before they hop in the lake, placing them at the correct swim level.  Our group lessons are inspired by the National YMCA Progressive Swim Lesson program.  Our lake is the “central hub” of the excitment, action, and learning.  Kayaks, canoes, pedal boats, and paddle boards are campers’ favorites, with “walking on water” on the much loved Wibit® being the biggest hit.  Spending time in and around our lake adds great value, and helps build confidence and life skills in campers, one splash at a time!
