FOR KIDS ONLY...keep reading! Everything you want from a summer camp is at Fairview Lake YMCA. When you sign up for our traditional sleep away camp, you get to make your own schedule and choose the activities you like most! Our great activities include windsurfing/sailing, archery, arts & crafts, canoeing, rock climbing, dance, drama, in-line skating, kayaking, high and low-ropes courses, snorkeling, street hockey, swimming, voice, guitar, and of course tons of other sports options. We also have a horseback riding camp and other specialty camps for tennis, fine arts, sailing/windsurfing. Some of these specialty camps are only for boys and others are only for girls. If you are the adventurous type, you might want to sign up for one of our challenging adventure trips where you can do some real rock climbing, backpacking, canoeing safaris, fishing, biking or cave exploring.

We have over 600 acres of forests and fields, a 70,000-acre national park in our backyard and a mile-long beautiful lake for you to explore. Our kids and counselors come from all over the world. C'mon, make new friends and learn something new. Parents, our kids will want to make Fairview Lake their home away from home!
Please contact Jake Lasher for a personal camp tour.

Fernbrook Farms Education Center offers Fiddlehead Day Camp (age 6-11) and Young Stewards Enrichment Program (age 12-14) weekly from the end of June to Labor Day. Your children may join us for one week or as many weeks as you wish. Days begin at 8:30am and run until 4:00pm with extended care available before and after the camp day. Healthy snacks are provided and campers are expected to bring a nutritious lunch.

Here at Fernbrook, your kids will become dirty and tired, but that’s what happens when kids are truly active and experience nature firsthand! Our goal is that each child leaves our farm with a sixth sense: a sense of appreciation of the natural world, agriculture, and healthy lifestyles.

Fun-filled Fernbrook activities might include:
• catching frogs and insects while exploring the ponds and creeks
• harvesting vegetables from our Children’s Garden
• starting a campfire with a bow drill
• crafting musical instruments from natural objects
• feeding and caring for the farm animals
• building a shelter and learning about wilderness survival
