Traditional Camp (Grades 3 – 9)
Traditional Camp offers campers of all gender identities the opportunity to grow both as individuals and as members of their peer group. Cabin groups live, work, and play together, enjoying activities as a group while learning to respect each other’s differences. In addition to quality time spent as a cabin, campers will have the opportunity to make some independent choices about activities to try or build skills in throughout their session.
From morning reflections to bedtime Taps talks, campers grow in spirit, mind, and body, learning YMCA core values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility in a supportive setting.
Campers grow personally and learn to enjoy independence in a safe environment, while also working with their cabin mates to develop into a caring and successful group for their time together at Camp Echo.
To learn more about the activities that campers will participate in during Traditional Camp, check out or Camp Activities page.
