Welcome to YMCA Storer Camps’ Summer Resident Programs! For over 85 years, Storer has been providing the adventure of a lifetime for campers and families from all over the country and all over the world. Our summer programs provide opportunities for campers to gain independence, make new friends, develop new skills, challenge themselves, succeed in a community environment and of course have fun! Campers leave with an appreciation of the YMCA’s core values of Caring, Honesty, Respect and Responsibility, that are integrated into all of our camp activities. Join us for the Adventure of a Lifetime and a Lifetime of Adventure.
Leadership: Our professional staff has a sincere desire to work with children and is dedicated to making a difference in their lives. Lead by a team of twelve career professionals, our 120 member summer staff is a minimum of 18 years old and hails from all over the country and all over the world. We interview, check references and conduct a criminal history check on all hired staff. Extensive staff training prepares everybody for a safe and successful summer.
Facilities: Imagine 1,200 acres, a 240 acre lake, two climbing towers, two high-ropes courses, over 200 canoes, kayaks and sailboats, three swimming areas, 100+ horses, three equestrian centers, miles of trails for hiking and horseback riding, 15 different ecosystems and more... we have a facility that is the envy of any outdoor center in the world. Add to that, lodging and dining accommodations vary by program. Campers live in both modern lodges with indoor restroom facilities or in traditional cabins with restroom facilities nearby.
Meals: Campers enjoy three nutritionally balanced meals daily in our certified dining hall facilities. Each day we offer a variety of “camper friendly” meals, a salad bar and an evening snack. Campers may enjoy a cookout meal during the week.
Health Care: YMCA Storer Camps provide health care service 24 hours a day. Our certified health professionals live on site to monitor everyone’s health and well being.
