At the Shasta Family YMCA Camp McCumber Resident Camp youth have the opportunity to explore nature, discover their talents, try new interests, gain independence, and make lasting friendships and memories. Campers choose and participate in daily activities, including canoeing, fishing, archery, arts & crafts, hiking, campfires, and sports activities. They learn respect for their fellow campers, for their own abilities, and for the outdoors. Camp is about positive experiences and personal growth.
 
Special to YMCA camps is the Ragger Program - in which campers set individual goals for themselves focused on developing stronger body, mind, and spirit. Rags exist as outward symbols of inward goals.

Our Counselor-In-Training (CIT) program is a leadership development program for teens interested in expanding their horizons and obtaining life skills. CITs act as leaders and mentors for campers, and assist in a variety of activities. Interested individuals must apply for a CIT position. Not all applicants will necessarily be selected for a CIT position; it is based on availability and candidate qualifications.

Financial Assistance

We want every youth to be able to experience the unique experience of Camp McCumber. Although Camp McCumber program costs and fees continue to rise out of necessity, the Y does not want to turn away any child due to inability to pay. Through the Y's Financial Assistance Program, funds are available to help offset the cost of camp program fees. If your family needs help with the cost of Camp McCumber, please contact us. 

If you would like to help provide camp for youth who otherwise would not have the opportunity to participate, click here to help Send A Kid To Camp.
