Boys and girls — ages 6 to 16 return every year as Y campers. Campers 6 to 12 enjoy the unique programs McAlister Village offers. Campers aged 12 to 16 create lasting friendships and memories as they participate in programs at Talcott Village. Our trained and devoted staff make the campers’ experience their priority, helping build your child’s

diverse and social setting. Campers stay

for one- or two-week sessions- and many enjoy the whole summer.

Built around the YMCA core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility, the friendships children forge at Y Camp become life-long relationships — and cherished memories. Each activity is designed as a progressive program, aimed at helping children develop

fun, engaging, and safe environment.
