Camp Carson YMCA
Join us for a week of summer fun, friendship, and an experience that lasts a lifetime! Camp Carson YMCA has it all - Fly from “The Blob”, slide down the water zip-lines, make new friends! With our own private lake the waterfront is always a big hit: canoeing, sailing, swimming, kayaking and more but don’t forget to check out the land activities: horseback, motorized dirt-bikes, archery, marksmanship, climbing and high-ropes, nature, sports, pottery, . . . the list goes on. We have a Progressive skill development program and freedom of choice – campers get to design their own activities schedule. For those looking for an off-site challenge - trip and travel adventure camps that include whitewater rafting, climbing, caving and hiking.
We offer co-ed programs for campers aged 7 – 16. Under experienced leadership, we help campers develop greater self-reliance, self respect, and self-confidence. Christian emphasis based on YMCA core values – Faith, Caring, Honesty, Respect, and Responsibility. ACA accredited.
