Whether it's the first time at day camp for your littlest ones, or a return to a favorite for your older kids and teens, YMCA Camp Shand has a summer camp experience perfect for all ages and interests!
YMCA Camp Shand, located in Cornwall Pa., offers day and resident programs for children ages 6-16. Part of the Lancaster YMCA, Camp Shand encourages kids to unplug, step out of everyday life and have a great time while also learning new skills, exploring nature, making new friends, working in a team and gaining self-confidence.
Camp weeks are themed throughout the summer, but all camps include hiking, swimming, kayaking, archery, and more outdoor activities. Camp counselors will focus on the core values of the YMCA: caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.
