At YWCA Northern New Jersey, our commitment to empowering women and girls is stronger than ever. Since our founding in 1919, we have been a leader in the fight against gender and racial discrimination, and we remain the oldest and largest multicultural women’s organization in the world. Our programs and services are tailored to meet the needs of our diverse communities, with a range of healingSPACE initiatives, anti-racism training, policy advocacy, and more.

YWCA Northern New Jersey also provides essential child care services and senior wellness programs in the northern part of the state. We have recently extended our reach into Essex County, Hudson County, Morris County, and Passaic County, while continuing our deep commitment to the Bergen County community where we began our mission nearly a century ago.

No matter the location, YWCA Northern New Jersey strives to create more just and inclusive communities each and every day. We work diligently to provide support and resources to empower women and girls, improve the lives of seniors, and ensure that everyone can enjoy the same rights and privileges no matter their background.

At this week-long camp, we’ll engage children with fun lessons in water safety, environmental education, ecology, team building, and much more! Campers will learn the basic/intermediate skills of stand-up paddle boarding, kayaking, and canoeing, enjoy lake snorkeling, learn fishing skills, and water-related STEM activities. Our trained Lifeguards will teach campers all they need to know about our calm, protected waters.
