Attività
I campeggiatori parteciperanno a 3 o 4 periodi di attività al giorno. Il campo Conrad Weiser offre ai campeggiatori più di 25 attività tra cui scegliere (senza costi aggiuntivi). I campeggiatori dei programmi Voyageur e Owl completeranno un modulo di attività per campeggiatori la domenica pomeriggio con la guida e l'assistenza del personale. Queste selezioni vengono utilizzate per abbinare ogni campeggiatore alle attività in base all'interesse e alla disponibilità. I campeggiatori ruotano tra le attività in modo indipendente e ogni campeggiatore ha il proprio programma personalizzato. Il quinto periodo di attività nel programma cambia ogni giorno per i campeggiatori. La piscina è aperta per il nuoto ricreativo durante questo periodo.

Camp has a licensed RN on staff. The local clinic and two hospitals, only minutes away, provide additional medical care. Parents will be notified by the Camp Nurse or Camp Director in the event of a significant injury or illness requiring a doctor’s care. Parents are responsible for medical bills that require a doctor’s care and prescription medication. The complete physical exam, including an updated health history, must be completed online 2 weeks prior to the first day of your child’s session. No camper will be admitted into camp without an up-to-date health history. Upon arrival, all campers are subject to a health screening to check for observable evidence of illness, injury or communicable diseases. No camper will be admitted to camp in the event of a positive screening.
Medications
All medications must be delivered to the Camp Nurse upon check-in. Please do not pack over-the-counter medication in your child’s luggage. Prescription medications MUST be in the ORIGINAL container with a licensed physician’s instructions. Please provide complete written directions on dosage and frequency signed by the doctor. It is helpful to place these original containers in a zip-lock bag labeled with the camper’s first and last name. Our medical staff will not administer any medication that is not in the original container and properly labeled.
Insurance
As a parent or guardian, you are responsible for any medical costs incurred as the result of injury or illness while at camp. A copy of the Campers insurance card must be uploaded (Front and Back) as part of the medical forms.
Mental Health
A camper’s total health and well-being is our greatest priority. South Mountain YMCA Camps has a collaboration with Furnace Creek Counseling to better support our campers and staff if a campers needs support that is beyond the scope of our Medical Standing Orders, Policies and Procedures.
We also have the ability and facilities to coordinate with families to continue tele-health or virtual therapy sessions that allow young people to continue the important therapeutic relationship remotely. Please connect with the Camp Health Care staff on opening day to set up this facilitation.
Please know, in the case of a camper threatening harm to themselves or others, or disclosing abuse, our staff will need to contact appropriate state agencies in their role as mandated reporters.
How are leadership and supervision structured?
Our leadership and supervision follow a tiered approach to ensure the highest level of care and safety for our campers.
Year-Round Directors: Our directors live on-site and are responsible for overseeing all aspects of camp operations, including child protection, curriculum development, and maintaining accreditation standards.
Seasonal Leadership Team: This team provides direct support to staff and oversees specialized program areas to ensure smooth daily operations.
Counselors: Our counselors are the backbone of our supervision structure, directly engaging with and supervising campers to create a safe, supportive, and fun environment.
This layered structure ensures that every camper receives individualized attention while maintaining high standards of safety and program excellence.

Yes. We are required to conduct 3 background checks annually for staff to comply with Praesidium Child Protection Accreditation.
How is staff training and professional development handled?
All staff are required to complete an intensive two-week training program before the start of camp. This training covers:
Child Protection: Ensuring the safety and well-being of all campers.
Behavior Management: Equipping staff with strategies to handle a variety of camper needs.
Specialized Activity Training: Preparing staff to lead and supervise a wide range of activities.
Creating Community and Friendships: Teaching staff how to foster an inclusive and supportive environment.
Camp Operations: Familiarizing staff with daily routines, schedules, and logistical procedures.
Emergency Procedures: Training staff to respond effectively to various emergencies.
Emotional Support: Helping staff recognize and address the emotional needs of campers.
Additionally, our seasonal leadership team participates in an extra week of specialized training to prepare them to support staff and oversee program areas.
Year-Round Professional Development:
Our year-round administrative team attends regular conferences and training offered by:
The American Camping Association (ACA): Staying current with best practices and accreditation standards.
Child Abuse Prevention Systems: Ensuring that child protection protocols are consistently reinforced and updated.
YMCA of the USA: Keeping aligned with national standards and initiatives to maintain excellence in programming and safety.
This comprehensive approach ensures that all staff, from seasonal counselors to year-round directors, are well-prepared to provide a safe, engaging, and nurturing experience for every camper.
Statement on Inclusion
At Camp, our main goal is to make everyone feel welcome, respected, and valued. We focus on inclusion in two main ways: proactive and reactive.
Proactive Approach:
We take a proactive approach by considering the needs of all populations when we design our camp facilities, hire staff, and create programs. Our facilities include private areas for sensitive times, such as changing and bathing. We continuously upgrade our facilities to meet ADA compliance standards. We aim to hire staff who reflect the diversity of our campers, so that everyone can see role models similar to themselves. We also take into account different dietary needs, hygiene products, and various program themes. Our curriculum is non-denominational, and we include inclusion and welcoming in our measurable program goals for camp.
Staff Training:
Before each camp season, our staff receive training to review our statement on inclusion. They are challenged to understand how to facilitate inclusion using real-life stories and problem-solving skills. During the opening ceremony of each camp session, campers are introduced to our program goals, which serve as the foundation for the camp experience. These goals are reviewed again during the closing ceremony, and campers are encouraged to reflect on their achievements regarding these goals. In cases of conflict, we use our inclusion statement as a guide for resolving issues.
Reactive Approach:
When someone feels unwelcome at camp, we take it very seriously. Our first step is to identify the problem, whether it involves bullying, racism, physical altercations, homophobia, or transphobia. We encourage both staff and campers to speak up and share their concerns. Our staff are trained to recognize these issues, but they also rely on campers to communicate when something is wrong.
If there is a conflict, we facilitate open and honest discussions. The person who caused the issue is made aware of how their actions affected someone else. If they do not understand the impact of their behavior, our staff explain why it was not acceptable. The person who caused the discomfort is responsible for apologizing and must explain how they will prevent similar situations in the future. They may also offer ways to repair the relationship. The individual with the concern can choose whether or not to participate in this process.
If the person responsible for the unwelcoming behavior understands the impact of their actions and intended to cause harm, disciplinary actions will be taken at the discretion of the camp director. Deliberately making someone feel unwelcome can lead to dismissal from camp.
At YMCA Camp Conrad Weiser, we are committed to creating a safe and welcoming environment for everyone. Our efforts to embrace diversity and inclusion are ongoing, and we rely on our staff and campers to support this mission.

Il mio figlio adulto più grande ha frequentato il campo Conrad Weiser per 8 anni come campeggiatore e CIT e ha poi continuato a lavorare come consulente. Il mio figlio più giovane sta iniziando ora la sua estate in montagna e si sta godendo ogni momento. Questo è anche il campo di riposo più conveniente.
Sono cresciuta al campo Conrad Weiser e ho amato le esperienze che ho vissuto lì. Le mie estati in questo campo sono state tra le più belle della mia vita. Ora ci va anche mia figlia. È un'esperienza bellissima per i bambini!
Questo è stato il terzo anno per le mie figlie, un sacco di divertimento per i bambini. Vorrei essere più giovane per poterci andare. Non vede l'ora che arrivi il prossimo anno.
Il Camp Conrad Weiser è un luogo meraviglioso dove mandare i propri figli per due settimane. Cavalieri a cavallo, arrampicata su roccia, piscina, arte e artigianato, falò e dormite in montagna. Un'esperienza estiva meravigliosa per tutti i bambini.
I miei figli hanno iniziato a frequentare il campo Conrad Weiser 8 anni fa e hanno avuto esperienze meravigliose. È ben gestito, con personale e assistenti che si dedicano a far sì che i bambini si sentano benvenuti e vivano un'esperienza fantastica. Ogni anno hanno lasciato il campo con nuovi amici e non vedono l'ora di vivere le avventure dell'anno successivo.
