Session 2
All-Camp Theme: Wilderness Welcome
Ages 5-11
Kick off the summer with outdoor adventure and fun! Campers explore nature through hands-on activities, outdoor games, and creative crafts. Build community and learn Camp Birkett traditions like the Birkett Flag, opening ceremony, camp songs, and all-camp games.
Leaders-in-Training (LIT) Program
Ages 12 - 14
The Leader-in-Training program allows older campers to build leadership skills and assume some counselor responsibilities while still participating in their favorite camp activities. Camp LITs will get the chance to choose specialized tracks that expose them to their favorite aspect of summer. LIT curriculum includes leadership skills, social and emotional learning, the development of the YMCA core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility. The LIT program follows the same schedule and themes as the general sessions but offering varies per session at each location.
