YMCA Adventure Guides
At YMCA Camp Bernie, we understand the importance of getting to know your children and building important bonds through shared experiences. We know you are searching for a place where you can spend quality time with your children… a place where you can enjoy a variety of outstanding activities and programs, eat good food and strengthen the bonds of family… a place where you can also enjoy the companionship of other adults and your kids can become friends with other children… a place to relax and have fun. YMCA Camp Bernie is that place.

We design our program with both parent and child in mind. Have fun during the day participating in a flag football game with the kids or enjoying the Bernie Olympics. Feel free to join your kids on your 40’, 6-sided climbing tower or at our archery range. Or simply relax while our trained staff take great care of your children.

 

At night enjoy the friendship of other adults and participate in our Poker Tournament, catch a movie on our big-screen TV, shoot a game of pool or stretch your limit and learn nighttime survival skills while we engage your kids in a terrific activity (captivating critter show, karaoke, night hikes, pillow polo and much more).

 

You can also expect reasonable rates, clean, comfortable dorm-style accommodations, hearty meals and 24-hour service from our dedicated, friendly and accommodating staff.
