At the YMCA Camp Mahackeno, your child will have a summer of fun and friendship! Our traditional summer day camp is designed to create an environment where campers can make new friends and grow. Our highly trained counselors and staff are committed to providing a safe and nurturing atmosphere, as well as a wide range of activities for campers to explore.
At YMCA Camp Mahackeno, we understand how important it is for campers to form meaningful relationships. We also recognize the need for children to learn about themselves and others. That’s why we encourage campers to build lasting friendships and foster their own personal growth. Our caring and knowledgeable staff are dedicated to helping campers make the most of their summer experience.
All campers swim in our six-lane outdoor pool and splash pad. On the first day of each session, campers take a swim test and are grouped with other campers according to ability. Swim lessons are Monday– Thursday with a free swim on Fridays. This schedule may be adapted if needed during the summer. All staff and campers are required to wear a personal flotation device while Kayaking or Canoeing. Counselors receive training in teaching paddling skills
