Why families choose Sloane
The summer they'll talk about all year.
For nearly 100 years, Camp Sloane has been a place where kids try something new, find their people, and come home a little braver.
Screen-free, confidence-on
Phones go in the safe on day one. Real conversations, real play, real growth take their place.
Trained, vetted counselors
Every staff member is background-checked, certified, and trained in the YMCA's character framework.
The waterfront they'll dream about
Private lake, sailing fleet, paddleboards, swim docks and lifeguards on every shift.
Activities for every spark
From archery to arts, ropes to riding — 40+ activities so every camper finds their thing.
Camp that belongs to everyone
Need-based financial assistance ensures every child who wants Sloane can find a way to camp.
From the Sloane family
Trusted by parents. Loved by kids.
"Our daughter came home taller — not in inches, but in confidence. Sloane gave her a tribe and a place that feels like home."
"The counselors are extraordinary. We trusted them completely, and our son's letters home read like he was on the adventure of his life."
"I learned to sail, I learned to climb, and I made my best friend ever. I'm already counting down to next summer."
Ready to make this their best summer yet?
Sessions are filling fast for 2026. Reserve your camper's spot today — you'll never regret giving them this summer.
Every child deserves camp.
The YMCA believes the gift of camp shouldn't depend on a family's budget. Need-based scholarships and financial assistance are available for every Camp Sloane program — no questions, no shame.
