At YMCA Camp Chingachgook, we believe in the magic of camp. We believe in creating a safe, welcoming, and inclusive community for all, where we are constantly striving to improve ourselves and others. We focus on building a deep connection with the natural world and those around us. We believe in instilling confidence and independence in everyone who steps foot on camp. As a YMCA, we believe in programs to build a healthy spirit, mind, and body for all. We know that lasting personal and social change comes about when we all work together. That’s why at the Y, strengthening community is our cause. Every day, we work side-by-side with our neighbors to make sure that everyone, regardless of age, income, or background, has the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive. As a result of our work, members of our community will develop personal confidence, social responsibility, an appreciation for the natural world, and an understanding that we are all better together.
