Activities | YMCA Camp Gorham

What will your camper be doing this summer?

YMCA Camp Gorham creates an activity schedule which is unique for your camper. Registered campers complete a preference form where they choose from a wide variety of activities offered each week. Our activity areas are broken down into three groups: Creative Activities, Land Activities and Waterfront Activities. Campers rotate through their activities each morning between breakfast and lunch. Each camper receives an updated schedule the second week they are at camp with new activities (and for any subsequent weeks at camp).

All campers have the opportunity to participate in Golden Horseshoe (feeding the horses in the AM) or Polar Bear (early morning swim). Campers who participate in the same early morning activity every morning of their camp session are recognized and receive an award at closing campfire!

All two week campers participate in Adirondack Adventure the middle Saturday of their Camp session. Horseback riding and waterski lessons are specialty programs and additional fees apply. All cabins are scheduled for a cabin ride which is a lead line ride in the riding ring.

The preference form for campers will be available on March 15th!

FAQs

How do I choose my campers preferences?

Parents should complete the specialty track preference form found on the Parent Dashboard with their campers.

Is my camper guaranteed their first choice of activities?

Camp Gorham cannot guarantee that campers receive their first choice in all activity areas. Schedules change their second week at camp which allows for campers to participate in a wide variety of activities in their areas of interest.

How do I add horseback riding or waterski lessons to my camper's schedule?

If you did not enroll your camper in horseback riding or waterski lessons at the time of registration, please contact the Camp Office to add either of these activities to your child's schedule. Space in these programs is limited. (Additional fees apply).

When will I know my camper's schedule?

Parents and campers will receive their schedule at check-in.
