River Crossing YMCA has launched registration for the 2026 Camp Lehigh season, featuring early bird pricing until May 4. The Y provides a wide range of themes, discovery and engaging options for first through ninth graders ready to launch into their summers.
Featuring fun weekly themes such as Journey to the Wild West, Science Shenanigans and Legendary Heroes, YMCA Camp Lehigh at the Easton branch 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 themed activities and events, including Pizza Fridays, games like gaga and capture the flag, nature hikes, field trips, arts and crafts and so much more.
Specialty and Sports camps are the perfect camps for children who love to participate in creative activities such as arts and Legos, as well as sports such as basketball and soccer.
Camp Elevate, new this year, sees campers (grades 7-9) take part in goal setting activities, sports and fitness, creative and STEM projects, leadership workshops, team challenges and community service experiences. The schedule also includes lunch and social time so participants can connect with each other, building lasting friendships.
Parents can be confident their children are safe and happy in the most trusted camp environment anywhere 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.
With early bird pricing available through May 4, YMCA Camp in the Lehigh Valley is as practical and affordable as ever. Financial assistance is available for families who qualify.
