Camp Hazen YMCA has a 27 member Board of Directors. In addition, there are seven standing committees including: Executive Committee; Marketing and Communications; Board Development; Resource Development; Program; Building and Facilities; and Alumni Development.Camp Hazen YMCA history - going co-ed!  Our first female Executive Director, Sue Edmonds, was appointed in 1988 followed by Tim Millbern in 1995 who started our popular day camp program.  Since 1999 Denise Learned has lead Camp Hazen YMCA with the same focus as all of her predecessors, to 'help youth develop valuable life skills through camping experiences that build healthy bodies, open minds, and awakened spirits.'  During this time the co-ed Village Onandaga was formed, allowing 10th grade campers to keep coming back to camp.
