YMCA Camp Wiyaka - Coed Mini Camp

The Mini Camp program at Camp Wiyaka is built for children ages 7 – 11 who want to try out a residential summer camp but may be worried about staying an entire week. Located on Sandy Pond in Richmond, New Hampshire, Camp Wiyaka is a wonderful place for children to spend time exploring, discovering, and creating lasting friendships. The opportunity to extend a Mini Camp session into a full week may be available if a child finds he/she is not ready to leave Wiyaka before the week session is over. Camp Wiyaka is run through the Athol Area YMCA.

Camp Wiyaka is a traditional summer camp on the shores of Sandy Pond in Richmond, New Hampshire where children ages 7-15 have been exploring, discovering, and creating lasting friendships since 1921. We have a mixture of coed weeks as well as male or female single gender weeks. We offer a variety of programs that utilize over 60 acres of woods and fields plus a 23 acre lake. The waterfront is a great place to play on the shore, swim, fish, or take out one of our boats including sailboats, canoes, kayaks and rowboats. The art lodge is where you can create all kinds of crafts and projects. Campers will learn about nature, play games, and experience new or treasured events throughout the property. Hikes and trips are taken to local areas including Mt. Monadnock, Royalston Falls and Tully Lake. Campers will live in a platform tent with up to 6 other children their own age and a counselor. Meal time is spent in our dining hall and campers enjoy a family style meal with the bunkmates. Every camp day ends with a sing along campfire and campers fall asleep to the sound of taps being played over the water.
