Our activity structure is all about choice. YMCA Camp Cullen provides your child with a wide array of summer camp activities that gets them excited, energized and engaged. We have something for every child with activities that are structured to challenge, have them try new things and indulge in activities they already know and love. Campers learn new skills, further develop favorites and make new friends throughout every adventure.
Life-Building Experiences
Camp activities are operated by experienced leaders, selected not just for their skill in the activity, but for their character as role models for your child’s camp experience.
Campers can learn new things and challenge themselves in their daily choice activities through our level system. Your camper will set goals for what they want to accomplish during the week(s) they are at camp. Each activity is set up in 4 levels – to teach a child who has never participated in the activity at Level 1 through to Level 4, where a camper has mastered the activity and can proceed to impart their wisdom and skills to a camper that is earlier in their own journey. Every activity nurtures and incentivizes that skill development path, and the hope is that a camper will have found a new lifelong passion. As they complete each level, they receive patches to show their accomplishments. Each time they return, they can continue earning in their chosen activity or start a new one
