Camp Focus

Camp Mission & Philosophy:
Campus Kids is a community of people who are diverse in our backgrounds, interests and abilities, but who share a common set of values about children and how we should live together in this camp community.

We believe that every person is unique and should be loved and affirmed as she/he is.

We believe that the positive role models provided by camp counselors can be one of the most important influences in a child’s life.

We believe that everything we do in camp makes a difference in the lives of our campers.

We believe in camp and we feel lucky to be a part of this remarkable experience.

What factors set this camp apart from other camps?
Our camp is a weekday sleep-away camp where our domestic campers go home on the weekends to be with family. International campers spend their weekend doing a host of adventure activities at our sister camp, Fairview Lake YMCA. All campers choose all their own activities everyday.

What is unique about the experience campers receive:
Ability to choose their activities, every session provides an advanced sports specialty and/or Fitness program. We also have a stage performance every session that everyone can be involved in.
