Dear Camp Friends, 

We are excited to announce that Mystic Lake YMCA Camp is planning to offer overnight camp programs for summer 2021! Although our operations will be different than in years past, the benefits of Mystic Lake YMCA Camp remain constant.

Summer is the ideal time for kids to get outside and explore, and this is especially true this summer, following months of stay-at-home orders and remote school learning. The social, emotional and physical benefits a camp experience provides are more critical than ever before, and we’re thrilled to be able to open and help our campers experience friendship, achievement and belonging.

Safety has always been our top priority at Mystic Lake YMCA Camp and while COVID-19 is unlike any other challenge we’ve faced, we’re confident that by following guidelines provided by the American Camp Association, CDC and state and local authorities, we will be able to provide kids with a safe, beneficial and memorable experience.

In the coming weeks, we plan to provide more detailed information regarding registration, program offerings, and new safety measures and procedures.

We appreciate the patience and dedication shown from our camp families during this difficult period and are looking forward to welcoming campers back in a safe, fun and impactful manner.

Respectfully,

Ricky Wright, Executive Director of Mystic Lake YMCA Camp
