The Daycroix program at YMCA Camp St. Croix offers children ages 6 to 13 a day camping experience. Each counselor works with a small age group of campers for each 5 day session. Counselors plan and lead a variety of activities that support the program goals, including nature hikes, games, songs, swimming, sports, archery, team building courses and exploration.
Counselors have an opportunity to work with different age groups each session.
Each Thursday evening staff lead campers in an overnight camping experience. The unit directors remain with the same unit all summer, providing program leadership and staff support. The Daycroix Program Coordinator provides support to staff and campers through the management of key organizational components of the daily and weekly program schedules and systems of Daycroix. They lead the Unit Directors and Counseling staff, facilitating communication and staff development. Unit Directors must have proven leadership ability and camp counseling experience.
