Summer Camp

The Northern York County Family YMCA summer day camp program strives to provide a high quality camping experience for a wide range of community youth and teens with a diversity of needs and interests within our service area.   

Camp Sokokis (entering kindergarten – 6th grade)
Camp Sokokis, situated on the wooded campus of the YMCA, is a co-educational, traditional day camp.  Campers will be part of a noncompetitive, nurturing environment that focuses on progressive skills and character development.  Camp Sokokis strives to help each camper build positive friendships and experiences based on the Judeo-Christian principles of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility. 

Campers are placed into one of three villages consisting of Kiddie Village (entering kindergarten & 1st grade), Junior Village (entering 2nd and 3rd grade), and Senior Village (entering 4 - 6th grade).  Each camper is then placed into a tribe of 12-16 campers.  

Campers participate in variety activities such as swim lessons, archery, teambuilding games, climbing tower/ropes course, arts & crafts, drama, sports & field activities, sleepovers, field trips and more. Additionally, we will offer a variety of specialty camps this summer such as Drama, Art, Sports, Horseback Riding and more.

Counselor-in-Training Program (C.I.T) (entering grades 8-10)
The C.I.T program is a progressive two to three year program for those teens interested in working in the camp setting.  C.I.T.s will participate in activities designed to teach camp tradition in a new and exciting way as well as gain hands-on experience to develop the skills necessary to become a future camp counselor.  Interested teens must apply for acceptance into the program and commit to seven weeks. 

Frontier Camp (entering grades 6 – 8)
This is an excellent opportunity for teens that want to be exposed to a variety of experiences.  Frontier campers will participate in one day of tradition activities at camp, one day doing a community service learning initiative, as well as spending the other three days tripping to destinations that they have decided upon as a group using a preset budget.
