About YMCA of the Pines

YMCA of the pines operates two overnight camps, with one for boys and one for girls.

Camp Ockanickon: Overnight Camp for Boys, ages 7-16 - At Camp Ockanickon, our focus is on the individual growth and development of skills and talents distinctive to boys. Living in rustic cabins with boys their own age, Ocky campers learn cooperation, sharing, fair play and how to forge new, lasting friendships. They spend their days swimming, kayaking, canoeing, enjoying a sport with new friends, improving their aim on the archery range or learning a new appreciation of nature in our Earth Education program. Counselors, trained to be mentors, help teach new skills that build confidence, self-esteem and self-reliance. Character-building while connecting with nature; this is the hallmark of a Camp Ockanickon experience.

We are excited to announce that Camp Ockanickon is offering additional 1-week programs! We will still be able to run the BOLD & GOLD curriculum Learn more >

Camp Matollionequay: Overnight Camp for Girls, ages 7-16 - Camp Matollionequay offers the best of a traditional summer camp experience – amazing friendships, challenging and fun activities – all with a focus on inspiring girls to reach their full potential. With encouragement from an extraordinary staff, Matolly girls have the opportunity to develop positive self-esteem and discover independence in a safe, supportive and nurturing environment. Our campers participate in nature hikes, swimming, boating, creative arts, athletics, archery, a ropes and adventure course and so much more. Besides sing-alongs and s'mores by a campfire, Matolly campers end each day with 'cabin chat,' to reflect on the day and strengthen friendships. Future leaders are born at Camp Matollionequay.
