ABOUT Camp Chandler

Since 1928 YMCA Camp Chandler has provided youth with the opportunity to build meaningful relationships, develop new skills, and create memories that last a lifetime. Camp Chandler’s highly dedicated, enthusiastic, and caring staff not only ensure that campers have a fun and safe camping experience, but they also strive to build character, make a difference, and change the lives of each and every camper that comes through the gate.

YMCA Camp Chandler has been dedicated to nurturing well-rounded, adventurous young leaders through a blend of exceptional counselors and core Christian values. Set on a stunning 104-acre natural landscape, our camp offers exciting challenges both on land and in water. By connecting with nature, acquiring new skills, and taking time to reflect on how God inspires confidence, wonder, achievement, and a sense of belonging, our campers forge unforgettable memories.

Every camping experience is crafted to ensure safety and enjoyment. We take pride in being accredited by the esteemed American Camp Association, and all our highly trained staff hold American Red Cross CPR and First Aid certifications.

Our family has been going to the Halloween party at Camp Chandler since our children were small. Now they bring their children. We all look forward to going every year. This year we had four generations attending together. And my sister and I even talked our mother into dressing up with us as the Sanderson Sisters! We all had such a wonderful time. Our family ages ranged from 75 down to 10 months.

My daughter loves this camp. She has been non-stop ranting about her time with this facility. Hopefully, she will be able to return next year.

Everything about summer camp is amazing! Both kids 9 & 15 absolutely LOVED it there. 15 y/o ssai she didn't care about not having her phone at all. She'd rather give it up and stay at camp forever. They enjoyed horseback riding, banana boat, rifleing, kayaking, cabin activities, and so much more. Everyone was so nice, and they really invested a lot in these kids. This program is more than I could have ever hoped for. I literally would not change a thing! If your kids are looking for a fun filled adventure, you must send them here.
