Celebrating our History: The 65th Anniversary of YMCA Camp Conrad Weiser & the 30th Anniversary of the South Mountain YMCA Camps.

For 65 years, we have welcomed you to the mountain.  We’ve invited you to share in our Fire of Friendship, determined in our belief that every person shares the potential to grow in wisdom, to discover their unique and independent voice, to nurture others and to engage their communities.  The fun and challenging programs we have offered have fostered communication, trust, problem-solving and deeper spiritual connections, while preparing young people to lead and be led.  The South Mountain YMCA Camps have been more than a series of camping and retreat programs on the mountaintop, they have been a way of life – a philosophy – that has proved exciting to explore and easy to embrace for generations.  This summer, we hope you continue to Keep the Fires Burning and join us on the mountaintop for Alumni Day on July 27th!

In the summer of 2013, we’ll be celebrating the 65^th year of continuous operation for YMCA Camp Conrad Weiser, as well as the 30^th year the South Mountain YMCA has operated as an independent YMCA Camp and Conference Center.  In addition to being a great opportunity to reconnect with your camp family, it’s also a great time to remember our founders and those individuals who have built this camp through their time, talents and treasure.

We hope to see you back on the mountain this year!
