YMCA Camp Benson - Explorer
EXPLORER CAMP Campers entering 1st-2nd Grades
Explorer Camp is a 4-day, 3-night camp session designed to
introduce our youngest campers and their families to overnight
summer camp. Our focus is to create a safe, comfortable,
and fun camping experience for our Explorer campers. Each
Explorer cabin is made up of 9 campers and 2 staff members.
We place a very strong emphasis on cabin unity and comradery
during these camp sessions.
Explorers stay together with their cabin group and sample
camp activities in shorter, age-appropriate activity periods.
Climbing wall, Twilight Zone, Flying Squirrel, Arts and Crafts,
and the Kangaroo Hunt are just some of the fun activities that
our Explorers enjoy. Explorer Camp counselors are dedicated
to creating a supportive environment where our youngest
campers can become more independent and build new
friendships
