Camp Edwards YMCA Camp

★★★★★Kirby Toalson

I grew up coming to this camp. I spent 7 summers and loved it. Now my daughter has continued to have the opportunity to come here, now finishing her 6th summer with plans for many more. She comes home at the end of her week of camp and is overjoyed with the experience. I recommend this camp for all kiddos!

★★★★★Kirin Logue

THIS IS THE BEST PLACE EVER I LOOK FORWARD TO IT JUST WHEN I LEFT. I always cry when I need to leave because they make me feel at home. The food is the best ever. Yes there are mosquitos but that’s everywhere and you can’t really change that.🤩🥳

I’ve been going for Over 9 years now, I can safely say this is the happiest and most hype place on earth. The staff do an amazing job being energetic always, kind and understanding. The Food is always amazing. I have so many great memories from camp the will stay with me forever. If your on the fence about coming to camp, make that leap and come make memories you’ll keep for the rest of your (or child’s) life!

Currently I’m am in my early 20’s, and I have gone to this camp every year as long as I can remember up until I was 16 or 17. I’m glad my parents sent me here, because I learned a lot of skills that I wouldn’t have if I hadn’t gone. Plus, I met a lot of people and made quite a few friends, and created a lot of memories. Whoever goes here will have the time of their life, because there’s something here for everyone. My favorite part of camp was being part of the road runners. The road runners are people who opt into waking up early before the rest of camp every day, and literally run to each cabin and pound their hands on the outside and yell to wake up everyone inside, it’s literally the best feeling ever. 😂 The other parts of camp that I liked: Skills: At the beginning of camp you sign up for 4 skills that you would like to do each day of camp. Two skills are done before lunch, and two are done after. If you’re a Trekker (Age: 13-16), then you will sign up for three skills instead of four, because your time is spent a little differently in this age group. G Swim Activities: I roughly remember this being about 1 hour. Basically you can do whatever you want during this duration. Some examples: you can go on the climbing wall, go kayaking, canoeing, fishing, swimming, sailing, go to the gift shop and get ice cream, or my personal favorite, play in the GaGa Ball pit. I’m just going to warn you that playing games in the GaGa pit can get pretty wild, but it’s a lot of fun. 😂 Evening activities: These activities happen after G Swim and after dinner. These activities are a little different from G Swim. Basically it’s something that you do with your cabin as a team for the most part. It can range from playing capture the flag to doing cabin pack-outs under the pine trees. For all of the parents out there deciding whether or not to send their kids here, I 100% recommend signing them up for a session. The memories I have from here still pop into my mind every summer, and I wish I could still go, but I’m too old now. If they ever allow adult sessions in the future, then I will definitely sign up, because I had so much fun! Thank you Camp Edwards for helping create memories that I will never forget! P.s., make sure to bring bug spray that is meant for the woods, like deep woods off, not the family spray.
