Trailmark is an adventure travel program ideally suited as a post-camp experience for students' ages 11-17. Co-ed trips travel to New England, the Northern Rockies or Southwest Colorado and are 7-14 days in length. Various trips may be combined to create a longer experience. Campers grouped closely by age, travel by van with 2 adult leaders, camping each night in either established or wilderness campsites.

Trailmark provides a supportive small-group environment, which fosters personal growth through active participation in a variety of adventure activities. Outdoor activities include whitewater rafting, backpacking, horseback riding, sailing, mountain biking, canoeing, sea kayaking, rock climbing, mountaineering, and service projects. No previous travel camping experience is necessary to have "the best summer of you life".

Week-long summer camp programs teach marine/environmental science and sailing to students ages 4-18.

For your youngest explorers, the half day Sea Urchins camp for ages 4-5 gives budding scientists the opportunity to discover the amazing animals that live at the coast.

Campers in grades K-3 join our full day Sea Sprites camp where they explore the habitats of their favorite marine critters!

Sea Pirates, grades 4 & 5, explore shores and sail aboard the tallship Quinnipiack.

Seafaring Scientists, grades 6-8, spend the full day sailing aboard schooner Quinnipiack while learning seamanship and marine science - become a part of our crew!

Sail New Haven, grades 7-12, teaches the basics of sailing while developing leadership skills and teamwork - no sail experience needed.

Come have fun in the sun!

Choosing a summer program for your child is one of the most important decisions you will make this year. The experiences that your child has throughout the summer months will greatly affect the values they learn and the person they become. We here at YMCA Camp Mataucha are committed to inspire meaningful experiences through a variety of fun and safe activities such as, swimming, boating, arts & crafts, archery, nature, ropes course, and more!
