When kids experience Y Camp, they experience something new every day. Like the power of a positive mentor, the confidence that comes from trying- and succeeding- and the importance of healthy, long-lasting friendships. Of course, they don't know this-- they just think they're having a whole lot of fun!
For many of our campers, we are more than just a summer camp. We are a place where they can have fun, make memories, and be part of a community that’s understanding and supportive. We create an opportunity for social and personal growth in a caring environment. We also give campers the chance to learn about their natural surroundings, develop new friendships, and have fun participating in a wide variety of activities that capture their interest.
Unlike many camps in the region, our program is fully inclusive and welcomes all individuals, regardless of intellectual or physical ability. Our campers also have the opportunity to enjoy all of the activities and programs we offer, including canoeing, swimming, overnight campouts, bonfires, and much more.
Our camp activities, just like our daily schedule, reflect the camper, the cabin, the village, and the camp. The following are examples of the many different activities and experiences at YMCA Camp Kon-O-Kwee Spencer:
Program Areas Archery, Air Rifles, Fishing, Crafts, Canoeing & Kayaking, Soccer, Basketball, GaGa, Creek Stomp, Stories, Speech, and Acting, Hockey, Jewelry Making, Disc Golf, Black Light Gaga, and Volleyball.
