By Sponsored Advertising Content March 4, 2020

Please note: YMCA Camp Shand has canceled its Summer 2020 programs.


Register your kids for a summer of adventure at YMCA Camp Shand in Cornwall, Pa. With day camp programs, overnight resident camps, and teen camps, there's something for everyone! Read on to see which program is right for your child.


Day Camps

Day camps are available for students in grades 1 through 6 and feature themed weeks from June 15 through August 17. While the themes will vary, the fun consistently includes pool and lake-front activities, outdoor living skills, arts and crafts, nature activities, sports and games, and more.

Have an older kid? Let them try teen adventure day camp, designed for students in grades 7-9. Along with traditional camp activities, this program also builds self-confidence and leadership skills, and includes a weekly field trip.

Day camp has transportation available from select sites in Lebanon and Lancaster counties and extended care options. See their website for more details.




Resident Camps

YMCA Camp Shand has seven different options for campers who'd like an overnight experience as part of their summer. Students as young as first grade can try resident camp lite. Teens can opt for resident camp extreme, service camp, and even an expedition camp to Cape Henlopen State Park in Lewes, Del. Students age 15-16 can even spend two weeks at Counselor-in-Training Camp and learn to lead future camp sessions! Take a look at all of the different options on their website.
