Welcome to Camp Wanacombak
Every summer, kids at the Y make lasting memories while uncovering the mysteries and secrets surrounding Camp Wanacombak and the people who inhabited this land long ago. Whether searching for treasure, becoming the star of a game show, or splashing down a water slide, kids will have fun while they learn how to build new friendships and grow in self-reliance. Camp activities focus on developing character while promoting healthy living and social responsibility. These concepts of independence and discovery come into play every day at Camp Wanacombak.
Safe, Licensed Program
Safety is our motivation at the Camp Wanacombak. We hold our programs to the very highest standards through internal assessments and external inspections. Our camp voluntarily fulfills with third party requirements and regulation, including state-licensing. This helps further ensure a safe, healthy and worthwhile camping experience.

Y counselors are dedicated to making sure camp is an amazing experience for every camper. Each “Professional Role Model” has the knowledge and training to make each moment of your camper’s summer fun and enriching.
