YMCA Camp Mason
Why Camp Matters
For more than 125 years, YMCA Camp Mason has welcomed campers to be a part of our caring, inclusive community. We strive for excellence, relevance and innovation and believe that every child deserves the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve.
Our camp focuses on facilitating a break from technology, encouraging engagement with the natural world, and participating in an assortment of activities aimed at personal development. Our proven programs and caring counselors engage and encourage young people and deliver meaningful and memorable experiences year after year.
We could go on and on about the benefits of YMCA Camp Mason, but our campers say it best!
