From the South Mountain YMCA
Summer Camp is on at the South Mountain YMCA! This summer, camp will be more important than ever for children. Camp provides kids an environment to be active, be themselves, and most importantly, create new and exciting memories. Camp has the power to connect youth from all backgrounds and zip codes. It allows children to reconnect with friends and form new friendships.
At the Y, we have always prioritized healthy and safety at camp. Since March, we have been providing child care for essential workers at 2 Emergency Child Care locations and strictly follow all guidelines and procedures State of New Jersey, American Camping Association and by local health departments.
