Entering Grades 1-4 in the fall. The YMCA Camp Colman program is designed to allow each camper to have a safe and fun experience in a beautiful natural setting. Mini Camp programs are a great way for new campers to become familiar with being away from home overnight in an outdoor setting for a shorter length of time. Programs are offered at the start and end of the camp season. This program is for campers entering grades 1-4 and is a four-day, three-night camp experience. Campers will build skills through a wide range of activities, such as arts and crafts, swimming, boating, archery, climbing and the giant swing. Campers are encouraged to create their own schedule, engage in mixed aged play, and be a part of camp’s larger community while still engaging in intentional cabin time to build a closer community. Days end with gorgeous sunsets over the Olympic Mountains, the singing of our camp song, "Tell Me Why," and time for restorative based reflection.We are committed to making YMCA Camping and Outdoor Leadership programs more accessible for everyone. We have lowered our pricing options and developed a voluntary sliding fee schedule. Simply select the price most appropriate for your family. Your selections are completely confidential and do not impact the quality of your camper’s experience.
Price A reflects the full price of sending a camper to the program selected. This level represents the full price of camp operations, including support for long-term maintenance, repairs, and facility enhancements.
Price B is partially sponsored by funds generously contributed by our supporters to help families unable to afford the full price of the program.
Price C is the lowest price, funded by generous contributions donated by our supporters to the greatest extent possible.
