It's the summer to discover at the Sussex County YMCA.  There are many options for your children ages pre-school to eighth grade to have a summer experience of a lifetime.  From half day programs at our facility in Hardyston, to full day camp with bus transportation to Fairview Lake in Stillwater, there is something for everyone.

 All our summer camp programs have the same goals: 

  • To provide a safe and nurturing environment through careful supervision
  • To provide activities that build confidence, develop skills, make new friends and have fun
  • To build character by incorporating the core values of the YMCA; caring , respect, honesty and responsibility; into all aspects of summer camp programming and interaction.

Camp Values

In a challenging world, the Sussex County YMCA camps try and guide children in making the right decisions, building self-esteem and displaying empathy and compassion towards others. Our staff promise to demonstrate and develop the Four Core Values of the YMCA in all aspects of working with the children, but staff alone cannot make a difference.
A strong partnership between all parents and staff, including the support and reinforcement of our values must be present in order to foster the growth of happy, confident and caring children. The Y's commitment to character development makes it valuable to the camp community.
All aspects of programming and interaction highlight the Four Core Values of the YMCA.

Our camps seek to promote these values in every experience and relationship.
