YMCAs became involved in camping in the 1860s, when a Vermont YMCA's boy's missionary (youth director) took a group of boys to Lake Champlain for a summer encampment. Many other YMCAs started camp experiences for youth in this time period as well, and in 1882 national records started recording camping programs under outings and excursions.

Summer Camp

The Upper Bucks YMCA offers a variety of summer camp experiences to meet the needs of children from preschool age through middle school. Parents may sign their children up for one or multiple weeks, and choose full or part time (minimum of 3 days). Please see the Summer Camp Brochure for this year's offerings.
