I was so impressed with all the staff's kind attitude and love for the kids. The camp created unforgettable memories for my kids and was fun and well organized. I am grateful to all the staff, especially Ms. Dina and Ms. Christie! They are the best!

Our ACA accredited camp programs provide families with a high-quality summer camp experience at an intentionally affordable price for children 5 – 12 years old. YWCamps are the ideal place to make new friends, develop new skills, and build self-confidence. All of our activities incorporate language arts and math to support campers academically during the summer months.

Dear Parents,
Another summer camp season is in the books and what a summer we had at all three of our camps (Dumont, Mahwah Weehawken).
We believe summer camp is special, it’s more than just a place to spend summer days, it’s an experience that becomes a part of who each child is – it’s learning and growing, having the strength and courage to stretch and be flexible and explore the world. We are grateful that you shared your greatest treasures with us this summer and we are so grateful to count each of you as a part of our larger YWCA NNJ Family.
As the days ahead grow cooler and the leaves begin to change, my hope for each of our campers is that they will not only remember their camp experiences with fondness but that they’ll build upon them, continuing to take charge and go for it, learn from mistakes, set goals, pursue them, and enjoy the company of new acquaintances who quickly become friends. And of course, I hope that all our campers will nurture a love for the outdoors and an appreciation of our natural world.
Thank you for being an important part of it. We can’t wait to have you back again next year.
Gratefully,
YWCA NNJ Youth Development Team
