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.
