The YMCA of Greater Cleveland is featured in Northeast Ohio Parent talking about the positive impact summer camp has on kids’ mental well-being!

Camp isn’t just fun—it helps children build resilience, confidence, coping skills and a sense of belonging, all while enjoying the outdoors, making friends and disconnecting from screens.

“Our focus is having fun, but also helping campers develop problem-solving and coping skills,” says Natisha Bowling, SVP of Youth Development at the YMCA of Greater Cleveland. “Camp nurtures emotional growth, social competence and well-being, giving kids tools for life.”

Our staff, including all camp counselors, are trained in Youth Mental Health First Aid to support campers and help families connect with resources when needed.
