There's Magic in this place! This summer, treat your campers to the challenge, fun and magic of Camp Speers-Eljabar YMCA.
Camp Speers-Eljabar YMCA is located on 1100 acres of woodland in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania. We are a coed camp for children age 8-16. Our 42 acre lake provides an excellent place for swimming (lessons & recreation), canoeing, sailing, kayaking, and windsurfing. Additionally, campers may experience activities such as drama, arts & crafts, non-competitive sports, archery, climbing tower, dance, horseback riding lessons, and much more.
Camp Speers-Eljabar YMCA will play a major role in each camper's growth by fostering independence, self-esteem, social skills, and values. The values of the YMCA: caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility are a core part of our foundation. We hire a diverse staff, including international counselors, who exemplify these attributes and provide great role models for all campers.
