Established in 1982, the Taft Summer School offers motivated students in grades 7-12 an opportunity for intensive study in a residential, independent school environment.

Guided by energetic, experienced teachers, students will encounter an academic environment that's as exciting as it is challenging. Arts and athletics, as well as varied schedule of weekend trips and activities round out the experience.

Students depart proud of what they have accomplished, invigorated by new friendships, and optimistic about the challenges that lie ahead.

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! All of our staff are hand selected based on their past experiences, attitudes, as well as their ability to accept and demonstrate the positive values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility. These "Professional Role Models" are zany and energetic people who are dedicated to working with campers and inspire them to form friendships, try new adventures and create lasting memories. We look forward to sharing these experiences with your family this summer.
