WHY MYSTIC
LAKE CAMP?
Since 1926 Mystic Lake YMCA Camp has been providing kids and families
with outstanding programs focused on helping them grow. Sessions
at camp focus on the character values of honesty, caring, respect and
responsibility within each activity. Through our character development we
are able to foster social responsibility, self-confidence, friendships, and a
sense of belonging during your child’s stay with us.
The Staff at Mystic Lake YMCA Camp are highly trained and very
committed to the goals of camp. References and previous work
experiences are thoroughly reviewed, and criminal background checks
and drug screenings are conducted prior to hiring. Cabin counselors are
college students (or graduates), who are at least 18 years old. They are
hard working young men and women who are dedicated, experienced,
responsible, enthusiastic, positive and FUN! The counselor to camper
ratio is 1:8 and lower. All staff members are trained in CPR and Basic First
Aid, and specialists have certifications specific to their area of expertise.
At Mystic Lake YMCA Camp, our goals are centered around
helping each child:
• Learn to lead a more healthy and active lifestyle.
• Learn about social responsibility through environmental stewardship,
community living and working with one another in a group setting that
builds friendships.
• Develop and learn new skills to help improve their sense of self worth
and confidence by creating an accepting environment where all are
welcome and everyone belongs.
