Program Philosophy

Since 1938, YMCA Camp Piomingo has been providing inspiring, engaging and educational co-ed camp programs for children ages 6-16. Camp uses a variety of activities to instill core values and life lessons in our future leaders. Through these activities, campers learn the YMCA’s core values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility. We added a fifth core value of faith—faith in yourself and others.

Camp also enables growth in character, confidence, and courage. Leadership development is also a core component of camp, designed to prepare teens for future counselor positions.
