For over 100 years, YMCA Camp Abnaki has provided campers with a traditional camp program, with an emphasis on character and safety.  Our program helps boys develop new friendships, build self-esteem, and gain a sense of independence while away from home. 

Tradition meets innovation at Camp Abnaki, as traditional activities like archery and canoeing take place alongside new favorites like skateboarding and low ropes team building.  Over the course of the day, campers engage in all types of activities designed to have fun while learning new skills and internalizing our character values.

Campers spend their mornings with their cabin groups, which are organized by age. The focus is to have fun while forming friendships that will last a lifetime. Cabin activities may include games with other cabins, waterfront activities, team building on our low ropes course, or other fun events.

Campers eat meals family-style with their cabin groups in the Turrell Dining Hall.  The food, a balanced menu of camper-approved favorites, is prepared by our Food Services Director, who is now in her 22nd summer at Camp Abnaki.
