EVER!

Dedicated StaffRye Y camps are led by a team of full-time professional direc-tors. Our passionate and dedicated summer staff are selected for their strong character, maturity, enthusiasm and commit-ment to our Y values and serve as Professional Role Models for our campers.

Counselor-to-Camper RatiosRye Y Camps are proudly accredited by the American Camp Association. The ACA holds camps like ours to higher standards than local licensing requirements. Among these standards are our counselor-to-camper ratios. We far exceed local requirements with lower than 1:6 counselor to camper ratio with our youngest camper groups and up to 1:10 with our oldest campers. At the Rye Y, we feel that the quality of our programs and success of your campers relies on low counselor-to-camper ratios and that is exactly what we deliver!

Camping With a PurposeCampers will gain new abilities, challenge themselves with the unexplored and learn to work with others as a team. Nothing is more rewarding than watching a camper’s joy as they learn a new skill or meet new friends.

REGISTRATION DATES:
