Introducing Southbury's YMCA Camp Oakasha!

Thank you so much for checking out my blog and YMCA Camp Oakasha.  I'm new to Southbury and new to Camp Oakasha but I'm thrilled to share this special place with you.  

Did you know that YMCA Camp Oakasha is nestled onto the campus of the Southbury Training School at their Adventure Center?  We've been operating for 16 years and hundreds of children have grown up here.  We have a Climbing Tower, Low Ropes Course, Archery, Boating, Arts & Crafts, Environmental Science, and we use the Training School's pool.  Campers enjoy many choices in activities and have time to enjoy new friendships with fellow campers and time with counselors and staff.  For the older campers, we go on a field trip every two-week session and for the younger campers we have special events at camp instead. 

Our staff is a huge part of the Camp Oakasha experience.  Many of them grew up at this camp and take a great deal of pride in our programs.  It makes a big difference in the experience of your child that our staff not only receive extensive training, but also have a love for YMCA Camp Oakasha and what it stands for. 

Camp is about having fun, staying active, making friends and learning life lessons that are possible only in this unique setting.  We hope that your child will join us at YMCA Camp Oakasha this summer!   

Oakash-fully yours,

Chelsea Ambrozaitis
