Camp Stories

Tell Your Camp Story

A big part of what connects people who visit the South Mountain YMCA Camps is our stories. As part of our Living Our Cause initiative, we are creating a written history comprised of people’s camp stories. Campers, year-round guests, staff, and volunteers will all be represented.
Did you attend summer camp with Camp Conrad Weiser or Bynden Wood Day Camp? Did you visit us with a school trip or for an Adventure Guides weekend? Maybe you were part of our Men’s or Women’s Retreat Weekend. We want to hear your camp story!

We’re looking for more stories and we’d love to hear yours!

Here are stories from some of our camp alumni; don’t be surprised if bits and pieces of your own story, or at least the emotions of your camp story, overlap a bit.

This page is still under construction. Stories Coming Soon.

If you’d like to share your story please contact Tracey Braymiller at tbraymiller@smymca.org or complete the form below!
