Outdoor Education
The Kimball Camp YMCA Nature Center has been building traditions in outdoor learning since 1974 with a special emphasis on respect and responsibility for the natural environment. This program serves over 6000 students each year with day and residential environmental learning programs.
Team-building
Kimball Camp YMCA has offered safe and effective Team-building programs for over two decades! Our carefully structured programs are designed to focus youth and adults on the role of caring, cooperation, and communication in teamwork. Trust, teamwork, confidence and support are all outcomes that a team-building experience will bring to a group of inner-city teens, at-risk students or non-profit and corporate work teams.
