Children ages 5 through 12 enjoy a fun-filled summer full of recreational activities, swimming, arts and crafts and field trips at our city centers plus the opportunity to spend several days at CYC’s incredible residential Camp Rosenthal.

Camp Rosenthal is a rustic summer residential camp located in Dowagiac, Michigan, just 115 miles from Chicago. Located on 530 wooded acres, it surrounds a 30-acre lake. It's the perfect place to make new friends, explore new activities, and learn leadership and team-building skills. 

The camp is divided into four villages, each of which consists of cabins, a bathhouse and an activity building. Campers are grouped in villages by age and gender and sleep eight to a cabin along with two counselors who maintain a consistent, caring, and attentive presence throughout the day and night. The Camp dining hall is large enough for all campers to eat together family style. The food is delicious and plentiful—no one leaves a meal hungry! 

Activities include swimming, paddle boating, canoeing, fishing, arts & crafts, hiking, environmental education, bicycling, dance, group games, talent shows, plays & skits, singing and music, campfire storytelling, cook-outs, environmental education, archery, ropes courses, and creative writing! Campers make life-long friends, learn self-reliance, and learn more about the natural world and their place in it in a safe, beautiful environment.
