YMCA Camp Campbell Gard

YMCA Camp Campbell Gard in Hamilton, Ohio is the resident camp of the Great Miami Valley YMCA. Summer camp is built around learning skills, developing character, making friends and having fun. Campers live in cabins of 10-12 peers with two counselors and a Counselor-in-Training, splitting up during the day for activities and reuniting each evening for cabin time and camp-wide programs such as House Games and campfires. At the core of the program are clinics, chosen on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday so campers build skills across the week, and one-time fun fests on Tuesday and Friday. Program options include week-long Traditional Overnight Camp, Explorer Camp for younger campers moving toward overnight stays, Overnight Horse Camp, camps for youth with developmental disabilities, and teen and leadership tracks including Basic Survival Camp, LIT, CIT and Teen Nation. The site also hosts outdoor education, conferences and retreats.
