Camp
Facilities
The Youth
Center Garden, a Merck Grant
In our continuing efforts to go green, The Youth Center,
with the help of a grant from Merck, has instituted both
recycling and composting.
Outdoors
On our grounds, we have
a large play area and wooded picnic grove. Attached to
our facility is a 20 X 40 pavilion, built in 2004; this
provides a great additional sheltered space for a variety of
activities. We have access to a huge borough park with a
basketball court, soccer field, baseball field and outdoor
playground equipment. The Spruce Run Creek runs next
to the borough park; exploring this wonderful natural
environment is one of the highlights of our camp activities
that is enjoyed by all campers.
All
3 phases of our Playground project have been completed!
The 3 section playground includes:
Phase
I A playground area specifically designed for children
ages 2 ½ to 5.
Phase II A water area with rubber surface and a frog which
shoots water; great for all ages!
Phase III
A playground area specifically designed for children
ages 5 to 12. This
is a climbing element which lends itself to trust and challenge
activities must for this age group.
THANK
YOU EXXONMOBIL!!!
Indoors
We have a large partially air
conditioned indoor facility with 6,000 square feet of space
including a full size gym with parquet floors and a
basketball court. We also have a new, completely refurbished
gym-thanks again to volunteers from ExxonMobil.
We
have a stage for skits and talent shows, a full size kitchen
and a large activity room.
We have a wide inventory of indoor and outdoor
recreational equipment that enables us to provide a variety
of activities in all weather conditions.
Swimming
Our camp has an arrangement with a local condo
association that provides us with exclusive use of their
pool and facilities prior to them opening to their members.
Campers are bussed to the pool (1/2 mile each way)
for instructional and recreational swim time.
Great strides are made with our Red Cross WSI (water
safety instructors) staff with all swim abilities.
