YMCA Camp Ernst - Crew Program
The Crew Program is a leadership experience for those entering the 10th grade in the fall. Participants will gain confidence and learn about leadership through experiential service learning. Crew members form a tight-knit team during their time at camp, while washing dishes, serving food, and cleaning the kitchen. College-age leaders act as counselors and plan traditional camp activities including creek hikes, dodgeball tournament, campfires, the ropes course, the lake, and much more. All these activities and work periods are used to develop friendships and skills in communication, conflict resolution, teamwork, and responsibility.
