Safety is a primary goal during your child’s stay at camp. YMCA Camp Kenan is licensed by the Niagara County Department of Health, adheres to strict standards created by the YMCA of the USA, and is accredited by the American Camping Association – the highest national honor a camp can receive. A registered nurse lives on site and the camp infirmary is equipped to care for accidents and temporary illness. Hospital facilities are located less than 15 minutes away in Newfane, NY. Our specialized staff help to ensure that your child’s experience will be the best and safest possible.
Over the past 91 years, we have achieved a balance between instruction and recreation, activity and relaxation, and group and individual accomplishments. At YMCA Camp Kenan, your camper will attend four program areas and three supervised free times each day as a cabin group, one of which exposes children to YMCA swim lessons. Themes come into play when campers participate in a wide array of activities revolving around the specific theme for the week.
At YMCA Camp Kenan, we try to make the most of every moment. Our program is an experience in community living, where all children must pitch in and do their part. This is the type of environment where character blooms and children find themselves. Parents often comment on the sense of responsibility their children have after arriving home. Your child’s adventures at YMCA Camp Kenan will provide lasting memories and friendships, as well as provide them with a great place to grow up.
