Building
character is a lifetime tradition for all of the Kimball
Camp YMCA summer camping programs. It is our goal to
help the nearly 1,500 campers we work with each year in both
our Day and Resident Camp programs to grow in Spirit, Mind
and Body.
Day
Camp
The Day Camp programs
have served over 500 youth annually in the Branch and Hillsdale
County communities. Our two main programs, "Buddy
Bear" and "Outback", provide fun, educational
and recreational experiences for campers who are not yet ready
for an overnight experience.
Resident
Camp
The Kimball Camp YMCA
resident summer camp programs offer a wide-range of programs
and challenges to choose from. We have programs for first-time
campers to those with experience in the out-of-doors. We
also offer our "Leadership Track", designed to help
today's teens to become tomorrows leaders.
Come
and experience a whole new way to play during the winter
months! With educational day programs for schools to
residential camps for students, we offer some of the best
winter fun around.
Traditional
Thanksgiving
This
program, open to classes from 1st through 4th grade, is designed
to teach students about the history of the Pilgrims: where
they came from, why they left and the hardships they faced
to create a colony in the New World.
International
Christmas
Where
did the idea of the Christmas Tree come from? Who were
the first people to wrap presents? What is the most
popular Christmas Carol in the world? All of these
questions and many more are answered in our International
Christmas program.
Western
Christmas
Although
it may be snowing, the fun doesn't stop at Kimball Camp YMCA! In
rotation format, students play games from the "wild
west", make a craft and even go on a hay ride.
New
Year's Fest
Come
and celebrate the New Year in a safe, fun environment! With
friendly staff, good food and an awesome program, campers
can welcome in the New Year in style.
Winter
Fest
Is
winter getting you down? Are you bored because you
have nothing to do? Then Kimball Camp has the solution
for you! Our Winter Fest weekends are specifically
designed to banish those winter blahs!
Winter Day
Camp
Are you looking for a
fun and safe place for your children? Kimball Camp YMCA is
offering Winter Day Camp during the holiday break from school.
You can bring them in the morning and pick them up each night
or we can transport them to Hillsdale, Quincy, or Coldwater
for an additional fee
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.
Teambuilding
Kimball Camp YMCA has
offered safe and effective Teambuilding programs for over two
decades! Our carefully structured programs are designed
to build strong youth and adults. Trust, teamwork, confidence
and support are all outcomes that a teambuilding experience
will bring to a group of inner-city teens, at-risk students
or non-profit and corporate work teams.
Retreat
and Conference Center
Retreats and Conferences
at Kimball Camp YMCA Nature Center offer a unique time for
building tradition of community for each group, whether a church
group, non-profit organization, corporation or special conference
event. Annually nearly 3000 individual participants from churches,
non-profit agencies, colleges or universities and businesses,
enjoy spending some very structured time at Kimball Camp YMCA
to learn, play and build relationships.
