Located in Medford, the YMCA of the Pines is a fantastic camp for children 7+. With its gorgeous location in the Pine Barrens of South Jersey, it lets boys and girls explore the great outdoors.
There is a wide range of outdoor things to do, including swimming, boating, fishing, archery, and more. Kids can also sign up for arts and crafts, music, dance, and drama classes.
YMCA of the Pines offers summer programs for varying age groups that last anywhere from a full week to two weeks or the entire summer. Apart from their sleepaway camps, you can also select from summer day camps.
Their mission is to provide an open environment where campers can learn and develop essential skills. It's committed to creating a sense of community for those who attend and getting them to form strong friendships.
It has a commitment to sustainability, and once the summer ends, it makes use of the campus to offer outdoor education programs for field trips.
