Residential Coed CampThe rich camp traditions of over 100 years influence current overnight camp programming at Camp St. Croix. Once campers arrive, they realize they are part of a community linked together by common experiences, lifelong friendships, an appreciation for nature and spirit, mind, body and personal growth and enrichment through challenging and fun activities.
YMCA Camp St. Croix offers a wide variety of exciting activities that build confidence, cooperation, and care--making new friends, building on renewed friendships, and having a caring environment where your child can be themselves are high points of the camping experience.
The one and two-week and one month sessions are divided into units for different age levels. Younger campers are guided through a variety of experiences; older campers choose between specialized canoeing, sailing, rock climbing, horseback riding and backpacking units which offer progressive challenges. Each time your child comes back to Camp St. Croix they can achieve a new level of achievement by progressing into a new, longer trail program! All of our activities at Camp St. Croix nurture character development and encourage all campers to step outside their comfort zones to have new experiences, increase self-confidence and care for others.
