For 125 years, YMCA Camp Mason has welcomed campers to be a part of their summer community. They believe every child deserves the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve. YMCA Camp Mason focuses on facilitating a break from technology, encouraging engagement with the natural world, and promoting an assortment of activities aimed at personal development. YMCA Camp Mason shares the many reasons you should consider their camp for your children.

Build Independence and Confidence

One of the most significant benefits of sending children to overnight camp is the opportunity to build independence. Children step outside of their comfort zones and learn to make decisions on their own. Being away from home helps them realize that they can handle new challenges, fostering self-reliance and boosting their self-esteem and confidence. 

Social Skills and Friendships

YMCA Camp Mason provides an ideal environment for making lasting friendships. Children from around the globe work together in activities that require teamwork, communication and empathy. Children learn to interact with their peers in a supportive environment, building friendships that last beyond camp. They also learn valuable lessons about how to interact with people who may have different perspectives and experiences.

Connection to Nature and Outdoor Adventure

YMCA Camp Mason offers a beautiful natural environment, allowing children to disconnect from their daily digital routines and reconnect with the outdoors. They offer a wide range of outdoor activities, from hiking and kayaking to swimming and nature crafts. Engaging in these activities helps children develop a deep appreciation for nature while also promoting physical activity.

Personal Development and Skill Building

Whether it’s arts and crafts, sports, or leadership training, children are encouraged to try new things and discover their strengths and interests. Many campers leave camp with newfound skills, whether it’s learning how to play a musical instrument, mastering a new sport, or developing leadership qualities. These experiences can shape their future interests and passions, providing a well-rounded foundation for personal development.

Strong Support and Safe Environment

Parents can rest assured knowing that YMCA Camp Mason is dedicated to providing a safe and supportive environment for children. YMCA Camp Mason is staffed by experienced and trained individuals who are committed to the well-being of each child. With a focus on safety and positive reinforcement Camp Mason ensures that children feel cared for, supported, and valued throughout their time at camp.
