Camp Hazen YMCA is committed to helping youth develop valuable life skills through camping experience that build healthy bodies, open minds and awakened spirits.
Our community is based on the YMCA pillars of Caring, Honesty, Respect, and Responsibility. We use these values in our cabin groups, at meals, and throughout the day.
Your child is our #1 priority. Everything we do, every decision we make, has your child’s safety and well-being in mind.
To be a time and place in people’s lives that they look back on and smile. We hope we are a place where people are always happy to arrive, and hesitant to leave.
We believe that children should have a Hazen experience, regardless of their family’s ability to pay. Camp Hazen YMCA has instituted a voluntary 4-tier pricing program for our Summer programs.
Camp Hazen YMCA is an inclusive organization. Our doors are open to everyone, from across all dimensions of diversity, creating the opportunity to learn from each other. It is our belief that, in a diverse world, we are stronger when we are inclusive. We have a culture of acceptance, and we know that it is our differences that bring us closer together.
We will continue to work for equity for all, by questioning our personal bias’ & privilege and the part we play in systemic racism in our world, in order to make camp a safe(r) space for all our campers and staff.
