Camp Pine Tree maintains 1 staff member for every 6 campers.
Staff is selected based on skill, devotion to children, maturity, and Christian character.
International staff also join us from other parts of the world, eager to share their culture and learn ours. All staff come packed with imagination, creativity, and a true desire to work with children. Every staff member must attend our staff training, which spans eight days and nights. For over 75 years the YMCA has prided itself in its camping program. Thousands of children have come to YMCA camps and experienced first hand what an outdoor education is all about.
