For 125 years, YMCA Camp Mason has welcomed campers. We strive for excellence and innovation and believe every child deserves the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve. Our programs and staff engage and encourage young people and deliver meaningful and memorable experiences. Our campers say it best! “I made so many new friends. Now I know I can do anything!” Campers can try new things while developing confidence, gaining independence, having fun and making lifelong friends. “I come to camp for all of the great activities.” We offer archery, pool swimming, boating, arts/crafts, music, a climbing tower, zipline, movie making, field/ court sports, skateboard park, mountain biking, FREE trips and much more. “At camp I can be myself.” 98% of parents report that their child felt they belonged at camp. We connect youth with role models who live our values of caring, honesty, respect, responsibility and inclusion.
Welcome to Camp Kidville, our summer program at Kidville UWS. Camp runs for 12 weeks from June 16th to September 5th and flexibility is the name of our game. We offer 3 different camp groups. The Blue Whales - for ages 18-30 months who are not quite ready to separate. It is offered on Mondays & Wednesdays from 10:30-11:45. This program is with parent/caregiver. The Lions - for kiddos who are almost 2 up to 3 years. This is geared towards kiddos who are looking to separate. With our gentle separation process a parent/ caregiver will stay with your little one until they are comfortable. It runs on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9am-11am and is perfect if your child is starting a 2’s program in the fall. The Elephants - for ages 2.5-4.5 years. It’s drop off only and runs from 9am-noon everyday. Scheduling for the elephants is super flexible as you get to pick your weeks AND days! Available for one day/week or all 5!!
