Why Explore The Outdoors?
Every summer, over 2,000 children have the chance to experience a unique, one-week adventure at YMCA Camp Twin Lakes. During their stay, we’ll help them achieve the following goals:
- Grow in the Y’s five core values of caring, honesty, respect, responsibility and faith. Throughout the week, kids will face a number of challenges designed to help develop their character. We’ll provide positive feedback and reinforcement each time a camper displays one of these values, helping the camp as a whole learn and grow.
- Learn to make good decisions. Every day, kids will have the chance to make choices regarding their schedule, activities, meals, hygiene and more. We’ll help them act independently and give them tools to continue making good decisions after camp ends.
- Create lifelong friendships. Camp Twin Lakes is a safe environment where kids can build self-esteem, develop interpersonal skills and make lasting friendships and memories.
- Develop an appreciation for nature. Hiking, swimming, kayaking, fishing, star-gazing, team sports — the number of outdoor experiences your camper will be exposed to is almost limitless.
