YMCA Camp Alexander
Camp is a great place to make lasting memories. With fun daily activities your child will grow stronger, stay active and connect with friends, all while building the core values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility.
THE BEST SUMMER EVER:
Camp Alexander is a 33 acre slice of heaven located on Nepco Lake. Campers will have the opportunity to try many different activities, build lasting friendships, and create memories that will last a lifetime. This year camp will be structured to offer many different activity options for the campers to choose from. Each day two to three different activities will be offered during our breakouts that are tailored toward different interests. Getting away from themed weeks makes camp more inclusive for everyone and allows them to shine as individuals. An example of opportunities offered during breakout sessions would include; friendship bracelet making, fishing, and yoga. The campers will choose the one they wish to participate in to ensure they are having fun. All activities are lead by counselors with similar interests to provide the best experience possible. We look forward to the best summer ever!
