It is the tradition of YMCA Camp Eberhart that summer camp is a time for establishing friendships that last a lifetime , for having fun in one of Michiana's most beautiful outdoor settings and sharing in fellowship that enhances social and outdoor skills. Our traditional camp includes activities like swimming, archery, hiking, and cabin group adventures, plus the options to pursue special skill classes like waterskiing and horseback riding. Traditional campers are divided into four groups or units. Each unit has its own special events and programs.
All units share in the excitement of our traditional camping program.
Campers attend camp beginning with our regular Sunday registration through Wednesday evening. Program participation will consist of regular camp activities adn specialty programs available at the full week price. Campers will be housed with children their own age and the cabin groups will have a mixture of three-day participants and regular campers. This special four-week program is designed to help young adults develop skills needed to become effective leaders and potential summer camp staff members. CITs are under the direction of the camp's Leadership Developement Director and senior cabin leaders, receiving training in working with children and learning program activity skills.
