1. Frost Valley YMCA - Our roots reach back to 1901, when we established one of the nation's first overnight camps for children. Over a century later, we remain true to the Y mission and our non-profit commitment to bring children of all backgrounds and abilities together in our enriching, life-changing community of summer camp.

On Summer days, Frost Valley campers live in a special world where they experience journeys on every scale - from spending their first night away from home and bonding with new friends to bolder quests like mountain hikes and all-camp traditions and games. Frost Valley YMCA offers non-competitive programs in a warm, nurturing and safe environment that models caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility. We help children appreciate their own self-worth and the worth of others. Staff and campers create a supportive atmosphere which fosters life-long learning and memories that last a lifetime. Campers feel free to express and enjoy themselves without the social pressures of everyday life.

Frost Valley YMCA’s programs focus on building and maintaining healthy lifestyles and reflect the interests and needs of a dynamic community composed of an exciting mix of cultures, backgrounds, and abilities.

Our goal is to ensure successful camping and educational experiences for each child. Staff members travel from across the country and world to join Frost Valley’s team -- from California to Maine, England to New Zealand. Our staff to camper ratio is 1:4 and in-depth background and criminal history checks are diligently performed on all applicants. We believe that our counselors are what make Frost Valley’s summer camp meaningful, and many are former campers who know our camp culture and its traditions. Counselors undergo extensive training in our policies and procedures, which stress health and safety first in a fun environment.
