About Camp [-]

Changing the World One Child at a Time! Camp Edwards has provided a positive camping experience for youth for over 79 years. Campers spend their days learning exciting skills and hobbies, playing all camp games, creating friendships, and relaxing in the safe environment we provide. Each camper stays in a cabin with 8-10 other children and two staff members. Our excellent kitchen staff provides three hot meals a day, served in a traditional family-style setting. Cabin Leaders are selected for their maturity, responsibility, dedication to children and their desire to make the Edwards experience the best for the campers we serve. On the opening day campers will choose four skill activities that interest them. They will participate in these skills during the following week. Unique to Edwards YMCA Camp is our "Honors" program, designed to help campers and staff set and attain goals, building on the childs confidence to reach dreams as they grow. Our number one priority is your camper. Our extended camp family models their behavior after the four core principles of the YMCA by treating your camper and each other with Caring, Honesty, Respect, and Responsibility. We compliment these principles with our Honors* program. Through Honors, we intend to instill qualities of new growth, courage, friendship, visible leadership, and invisible leadership into your campers experience in an effort to send them home a fuller person, kinder friend, and gentler soul. Therefore, we will do everything in our abilities to keep your camper safe physically, mentally and emotionally, and help them make wonderful memories at camp. From all-camp games to songs, skits, skills, and friendship, Edwards' staff strives to create programs that leave lasting memories for the years to come. We believe that the time a camper spends at Camp Edwards is important to strengthen their values and promote caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility. What do our parents say? "I love how this camp allows kids to do all the 'outdoorsy' things they don't usually get to do at home (as compared to the camps many kids go to that are sports-focused)." "Superior service. Our second year attending and our daughter wants to go for 2 weeks in 2009." "My daughter LOVED her counselors!!!!" "They worked really hard to make camp a lot of fun and safe." "She loves it, and likes making new friends, and we feel safe knowing that she's there and that she's in good hands." "They[children] have gained responsibility, respect for themselves and others, and just a new appreciation for life. I think you are doing a terrific job and my husband and I will continue to send our children each summer." "She wanted to go to camp and Edwards was affordable." Come see for yourself what Edwards YMCA Camp can offer to you. We are committed to leaving the world a little better off by helping the future leaders of the world grow.
