The Y is a safe, thriving environment for campers to try new activities, learn new skills, be creative, make lasting friendships, and have a blast! Our camp program features an array of traditional, sports, specialty, travel, and teen camps.  Join us for one or more weeks or all summer long. Full-day, half-day and extended day programs are available for campers ages 3-15.  We offer programs in Garwood, Mountainside and Westfield.  Our  Westfield-based programs are ACA accredited. The Y camp curriculum is structured to promote teamwork, build self-esteem and include educational components.  We incorporate the Y core values  of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility in all we do.  

Every member of our camp staff receives over  30 hours of pre-camp training including Red Cross certification in CPR for the Professional Rescuer and First Aid with EpiPen administration as well as asthma inhaler training, anti-bullying, behavior management and more.  We also have a full-time EMT on staff during the camp season.

Financial assistance is available.

Most camps are offered in one-week sessions for flexibility and varied interests.
