About this camp:  

At Milton Kelso YMCA Day Camp, campers enjoy a variety of activities utilizing the abundance of grassy fields, and wooded areas, while exploring the scenic trails, lookouts and waterfront around the park. Campers have access to the facility’s canoes, kayaks, and paddle boards, as well as the archery range and low ropes course. Plus, new for this summer, campers in our Youth Leadership programs will also have access to the high ropes, and the climbing wall will be open to campers registered for Senior Hike and Bike and Junior and Senior Outdoor Adventure.

All campers will swim three times per week in our own private area at Kelso Lake, and have access to the Kelso Chalet — an indoor air-conditioned space for crafts and low-key activities.
