| Zip Line at YMCA Camp |
National Geographic 100 Best Affordable Vacations lists Camp at the YMCA as a vacation idea. The introduction brings nostalgic memories "Remember summer camp? A typical day might include swimming, hiking, and making crafts. Evenings were reserved for campfires and long conversations. You can relive those idyllic days at a YMCA family camp."
I have so many fond memories of many camps including Girl Scouts, 4-H, YMCA, Science Camp, Cheerleading Camp, and Business Camp. Hikes to bogs, learning to canoe, building campfires, making candles and other art projects, dances, and so much more to keep kids moving and exploring. One year I served as a camp dishwasher and another year a camp counselor. It's great leadership training for tweens and teens. You don't necessarily need a membership to attend camps. Check out the requirements.
For older kids, many camps provide challenge courses. As a Scout parent, I joined other moms in encouraging girls to overcome their fears and climb to new heights.
Some camps offer family weekends in which you can book a cabin or tent site. One weekend, we booked cabins for ourselves and relatives at the YMCA Ohio Camp Cambell Gard. While the weekend surrounded the kids with fun activities, the adults also liked trying the zip line.
