ABOUT CAMP
We make summer fun every day at Westfield Area Y camps. The Y is a safe, thriving environment for campers to try new activities, learn new skills, be creative, make lasting friendships, and have a blast!
Our camp program features an array of traditional, sports, specialty, travel, and teen camps. Join us for one or more weeks or all summer long. Full-day, half-day and extended day programs are available for campers ages 3-15. We offer programs in Garwood, Mountainside and Westfield. Our Westfield-based programs are ACA accredited. The Y camp curriculum is structured to promote teamwork, build self-esteem and include educational components. We incorporate the Y core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility in all we do.
Every member of our camp staff receives over 30 hours of pre-camp training including Red Cross certification in CPR for the Professional Rescuer and First Aid with EpiPen administration as well as asthma inhaler training, anti-bullying, behavior management and more. We also have a full-time EMT on staff during the camp season.
For over 120 years the Y has been at the forefront of the camping industry with a rich history and impeccable track record of excellence. The continuation of this tradition is evidenced by decades of successful camp programming here at the Westfield Area Y.
