High Schoolers

YMCA Camp Lakewood is not just any overnight summer camp. It's that special time at the perfect place, with friends and memories your children will take with them throughout the rest of their lives. Help them to high-five every accomplishment, celebrate their growing independence and wonder of the world around them through the gift of overnight summer camp.

While campers love the sports, horseback riding, arts & crafts, water activities, caving, climbing, ziplining, camp games and more, great kids are grown into well-rounded individuals by also teaching respect, responsibility, belonging and accomplishment. Children gain knowledge of the world around them through culturally diverse staff, all within the incredibly fun and safe environment of the Y. This is why campers call Camp Lakewood "My Camp!"

Program dates are August 3-7. Registrations are still being accepted! Young performers ages 10-18, of all skill levels, are invited to register for a week-long performing arts program taught by Broadway professionals. The week consists of classes, workshops, and rehearsals focused on classic Broadway shows. The staff of Broadway professionals teaches "cast members" songs and choreography from two hit shows from the "Golden Age of Broadway." Cast members create their own presentations based on shows in the 2020-21 Fabulous Fox Theatre season and other hit musicals. In addition to dance and vocal training, the program includes a mid-week "edu-tainment" segment, highlighted by film clips of the Broadway shows. The week culminates with an "Opening Night" performance for family and friends on Friday afternoon followed by a cast party. 

Code Ninjas offers fun and rewarding coding camps for kids ages 7-14. Camps include Program & Play in Python, Game Builders' Club, Code Drones, Beginning Javascript, Minecraft Create, Roblox Create, Robopro: Beginners, Robopro: Advanced, Browse & Build, Hack Attack!, Storytelling in Scratch, Roblox Royale, and Minecraft Modding!  Code Ninjas plans to move forward with summer camps as planned in 2020. Camps have limited enrollment, and begin June 1.
