OUR HISTORY
YMCA Camp Campbell knows camp. Established in 1936, we
have been providing safe and affordable camping experiences
for thousands of children and families for over 80 years.
We’ve added new accommodations, renovated others and
added activity areas to enhance the camper experience.
YMCA Camp Campbell is part of YMCA of Silicon Valley,
whose rich history began in San Jose 150 years ago. It now
includes 10 branches and our resident camp. The Y is the
nation’s largest nonprofit, community-based organization
with programs and services for youth and families of all
backgrounds. As part of a network of more than 2,500
Ys across the country, we have the skills, knowledge and
expertise in working with youth.
OUR STAFF
Our caring staff empower campers to learn about the world,
develop interpersonal skills, and engage in new and creative
activities. Head counselors are high school graduates and
are typically in pursuit of a college degree focused on youth
development or education. Employees are hired based on
all American Camp Association guidelines including formal
interviews, experience, training, and extensive background
checks. To increase the cultural awareness of our campers
and ensure the highest quality experience, we hire both
local and international staff. All staff members are CPR and
First Aid certified and participate in a seven-day training
that includes youth development, leadership skills, activity TABLE OF CONTENTS
planning, and child abuse prevention.

SKILL DEVELOPMENT
At YMCA Camp Campbell, we value campers’ choices by
giving them a voice. Campers are asked to pursue up to
eight activity areas where they have a passion. Campers
participating in the traditional two week program will work
towards progressing, developing, and achieving new skills
in their two week long activity choices. Campers get to try
additional activities on camper choice days.
Progressive: Throughout the two weeks, campers develop
their skills and abilities in these activity areas.
Discover: Campers are given additional activity choices
during the week to try new activities and discover what
they can achieve away from home and school.
Achieve: Through these achievements, campers build
confidence, knowledge, and a new found sense of excitement
to learn. Achievements are celebrated at the end of each two
week session.
