The YMCA of Greater Hartford's premier overnight camps are Camp Jewell and Camp Woodstock. Both legacy camps promote independence, build critical social skills, and raise self-esteem.
Camp Jewell and Camp Woodstock focus their programs on relationship building, helping kids make quality friendships that will last a lifetime because they are founded on the principle values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.
Camp Jewell offers two-week sessions. Camp Woodstock offers a variety of session lengths, starting with 1-week sessions. Multiple session registration is also available at both camps for kids who want an extended sleep away camp experience.
Both camps also offer Leaders in Training, Counselors in Training, and Jr. Counselor programs for teens.
