About the provider

Phantom Lake YMCA Camp has been trusted by parents and guardians since 1896, which is 130 years. Its mission is to provide a nurturing environment where kids can disconnect from the hectic outside world and reconnect with nature, focus on building strong friendships, experience the outdoors, and grow physically, mentally, spiritually, and socially.

Our summer camp offers options for every family’s comfort level. The program includes a competitive progression for youth leaders. Campers are only allowed to stop at the camp store one time per day and there is a limit on the number of snacks that can be purchased.
