We will schedule our Family Camp by May 1st (it will be held on a Saturday in July or August). If you are interested in Family Camp, please email our office ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) so that we can gauge the level of interest.

Our mission guides us to not only work with youth but also with the key systems affecting their lives. Family Camp is one way we do this.

Family Camp is open to children ages 6-18 and their parents. Take part, as a family, in Lewis Day Camp activities like archery, canoeing, nature, arts & crafts and free swim. We provide staffing for the entire camp experience, with skilled guidance at each activity area. Family Camp is led by the Fortier family--Susan (MWYMCA Senior Program Director and Lewis Day Camp Director), Steve (MWYMCA Executive Director), son Sean and daughter Laryssa (both Lewis Day Camp staff members).

Families supply their own food and beverage.

Space is limited to ten families. Family Camp will be held rain or shine (a good adventure doesn't yield to bad weather!).

The fee for Family Camp is $25/family. Financial Assistance is available.
