OTHER CAMP INFO: Camp Jorn YMCA has been helping children of all ages recognize and develop value in themselves and in the world around them since 1953. At Camp Jorn you will often hear the phrase "the magic of CJ," and those words may be the best way to describe what children walk away with after participating in our programs.
Camp is a place where children can come from all different backgrounds, be free of all outside influences, and learn about who they are and who they have the potential to be. A sailing class is not just a lesson how to sail, but how to work as a team, how to deal with challenges, how to persevere, and develop a real sense of pride in themselves & their accomplishments. We strongly believe that a camp experience has the ability to teach children in a way that they can't experience elsewhere.
