SUMMER

HAPPENS

HERE

Summer at the Y and Bear Valley Camp

At the Y we provide a safe, nurturing, and fun environment to engage the interests of all kids. Our adventures are non-stop and our activities reinforce the values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.

Summer at the Y creates an exciting, safe environment for kids to have an unforgettable summer of fun. While they are taking part in unique experiences and adventures, they are also building self-esteem, developing interpersonal skills and making lasting friendships.

PLUS! Need a destination for summer adventure? Look no further than Bear Valley YMCA Resident Camp!

Bear Valley YMCA Camp has been a destination for summer adventure for more than 80 years. At Bear Valley, we believe that every child should have the opportunity to experience the wonders of the High Sierra in a safe and caring environment.

Located near Emigrant Gap, Bear Valley provides kids with rewarding and life changing experiences. Read below for camping opportunities for ages 8-13 (Traditional Camp), ages 14-16 (Counselor in Training), and all ages (Family Camp).

New this year: Volunteer Junior Counselors

Too old to be a CIT? Too young to be a Counselor? 17 year old's can volunteer at camp during the 2023 summer season as "Junior Counselors''!
