YMCA Camp Kitaki is a resident summer camp facility for ages 7-17, whose purpose is to build strong kids and adults through programs that promote positive identity, relationships, values and skills in a unique natural setting.  We are a dedicated group of professional youth developers who passionately believe in the power of the overnight camp experience and what it does to help grow a child's sense of self-worth and independence.

We have fun. Fun that is carefully crafted to help kids learn and grow. Fun that challenges everyone involved to be better. At YMCA Camp Kitaki, crafts aren't just crafts. They are an opportunity to express creativity and to learn about responsibility as campers clean up after themselves. Gaga, a form of dodgeball originating from Israel where feet are the target, isn't just an active and healthy game. It is an opportunity to teach about honesty, and the importance of being truthful, even when no one else will notice. Living together in a cabin is an opportunity to learn about sharing, social skills, community and to bond with new friends. Everything is fun, but fun with a purpose. It all adds up to kids who leave a week of camp feeling more confident in themselves, having met new friends, and having created memories that will last a lifetime.

Our focus is completely on making summer camp the greatest experience that a child could have during their summer. The full-time professional staff are on site 24 hours a day helping our 65 part-time staff members make the most of the time we have with your child.  Each year we grow, changing what we do for the better, setting loftier and lofier goals, while maintaining the traditions your child will love.  We provide an experience that parents cannot provide for their children, a microcosm of independent life full of values, relationships, skills and fun.

Rules for acceptance and participation are the same for everyone regardless of age, gender identity, sexual orientation, race, religious affiliation, immigration status, ability or national origin.  We believe that all kids deserve a camp experience, and will make every reasonable effort to meet the individual needs of all our campers.  If you have questions about whether Camp Kitaki is the right fit for your child due to unique behavior needs, or any other special need, please contact us.
