Pioneer Trails Day Camp

The West Essex YMCA Pioneer Trails Day Camp is a traditional camping experience providing  youth with opportunities for self-discovery and personal development. Campers, preschool through eighth grade, build self-confidence by successfully exploring new opportunities and overcoming  challenges in a safe , supportive  environment. They learn teamwork, independence, and values. Our program places special emphasis on assisting children of working parents. We provide a safe, healthy, fun filled, and worry-free environment, not only for our campers, but for our parents as well. You may rest assured that our experienced and
dedicated staff of counselors and specialists are at camp to make certain your child enjoys the best of all possible summers. With this assurance, you too can enjoy peace of mind while your child attends camp. We have an exciting summer planned and we hope you will be able to join our extended camp family for all or part of the 2010 camp season.
