Session 7 - Art Exploration
Description

Entering grades 6-8 in fall of 2026.


Campers tap into their creativity and express themselves through a week-long exploration of the arts. Campers will access several artistic mediums which may include drawing, painting, sculpting with clay, or practicing digital photography.  In addition to exploring the arts, campers will participate in traditional camp activities.


Cabin Assignments: Campers live in all-gender cabins and participate in activities with other members of their program. This cabin option allows campers to be grouped with a friend or family member of a different gender, or for those who feel more comfortable in an all-gender space. Cabin groups consist of campers within the same program who are matched by age or developmental stage.


We are committed to making YMCA Camping and Outdoor Leadership programs more accessible for everyone. We have created our pricing options and developed a voluntary sliding fee schedule. Simply select the price most appropriate for your family. Your selections are completely confidential and do not impact the quality of your participant’s experience.
$150 non-refundable deposit is required for all registrations and is applied to the total amount due.


Price A reflects the full price of sending a participant to the program selected. This level represents the full price of camp operations, including industry leading training and staffing, support for long-term maintenance, repairs, and facility enhancements.


Price B is partially sponsored by funds generously contributed by our supporters to help families unable to afford the full price of the program.


Price C is our most accessible rate, supported by generous contributions from our donors to ensure a positive camp experience for as many participants as possible.


Our goal is to remove barriers that prevent anyone from participating in our programs, including financial barriers. If our lowest price still creates a financial barrier that prevents you from participating in our programs, we invite you to fill out a Financial Assistance Application. Once we have reviewed and approved your application, you will receive an email confirming the percentage you have been awarded.* A $50 deposit is still required to confirm your reservation.


*We are only able to offer financial assistance for one registration per participant each summer.
