The Way in the Woods program offers preschoolers their own outdoor camping experience. These two-week program sessions are designed to have campers enjoy all the things that make this time of life so important. The weeks of August 20 and 27 are one week program sessions. Because this is the first camp experience for many of our Way in the Woods campers, Camp Lyndon also provides a half day morning option. This program is dedicated to making this transition comfortable.
Teachable moments abound that encourage values such as caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility.
The Explorers program emphasizes the four values that are the foundation for YMCA Character Development. Through daily experiences and activities, campers are encouraged to accept and demonstrate caring, honesty, respect and responsibility in everything they do. The Explorers program is designed to give campers a broad range of camping experiences. Songs, skits, arts and crafts, instructional and recreational swims, archery, and nature skills, just to name a few. We continue our emphasis on character development and the core values that this entails.
