Summer camp starts June 8th, and we’re kicking things off with Camp Kickoff Week at Camp Alexander! ⛺️

Week 1 is all about making new friends, building teamwork, trying low ropes and problem-solving challenges, and starting the summer with confidence and belonging.

Campers will also explore the YMCA core values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility as they jump into an unforgettable camp season.

What is your child most excited for this summer: friendships, outdoor adventure, games, lake time, or trying something new?

Camp Alexander is looking for volunteers to help us build slingshot target stands before summer camp begins this season! ⛺️

This has become one of our priority projects as we continue preparing camp for Summer 2026, and we would love to connect with individuals, families, businesses, or groups who enjoy hands-on projects, woodworking, building, or simply giving back to camp and the community.

These stands will help support outdoor adventure programming and create fun experiences for campers throughout the summer.

If you or someone you know may be interested in helping, please send us a message or comment below. We truly appreciate the support that helps make camp experiences possible for local youth. 💙
