River Crossing YMCA has launched registration for the 2026 YMCA Camp Lehigh season, featuring early bird pricing until May 4. With fun weekly themes such as Passport Around the World, Legendary Heroes, Adventure Carnival and many more, campers (grades 1-6) will find fun and friendship no matter their schedule.

YMCA Camp Lehigh in Bethlehem brings kids together from throughout the community for that special summer friendship and experience only YMCA camp can provide. Staff is highly trained in safety, leadership and camper engagement and all campers are tested for swim safety. Campers needing water safety support receive YMCA Safety Around Water instruction from trained aquatics staff. Each week is packed with activities and events, including Pizza Fridays, games like gaga and capture the flag, nature hikes, field trips, arts and crafts and so much more.

Parents can be confident their children are safe and happy in the most trusted camp environment in the Lehigh Valley with flexible scheduling, curbside drop-off/pick-up, and regular communication via the Camp App. Photos and weekly Hot Sheets are all in one place, now featuring smartphone push notifications. Extended morning and afternoon care is also offered for a modest additional fee, with breakfast included for early morning campers.

With early bird pricing available through May 4, YMCA Camp at the Bethlehem branch is as practical and affordable as ever. Financial assistance is available for families who qualify.
