For a summer full of non-stop fun, outdoor recreation and exploration, discover the YMCA of Greater Bergen County’s summer programs. Nestled in the scenic Bear Mountain Camp region of Harriman State Park, the Y’s sleep-away and day camps are exciting getaways for active and adventurous children. For the day camps, daily transportation is provided from the YMCA’s Hackensack location with buses leaving at 8:30am and returning at 4:15pm. Michikamau, the YMCA’s sleep-away camp, invites 8 to 14-year-olds to experience a summer packed with new friendships, athletic events, water sports, arts and crafts, nature exploration, hikes, campouts, dances, films, carnivals and more! Children are grouped together in cabins by age and are supervised by an experienced staff of friendly counselors who know how to make everyone, including nervous first- time campers, feel welcome. Safety is a top priority and the camp health director is on duty at all times. Fresh air, acres of woodland, scenic views, excellent facilities— it’s a camper’s paradise! Kahagon, a day camp especially designed for 5 and 6-year-olds provides ample individual attention as the youngsters play in the playground, take swimming lessons, make crafts, participate in nature activities and enjoy sporting events. Even more exciting activities abound for 7 to 12-year-olds at camp Oratam. The varied program is rich in fun, athletics, nature and socialization!
