Camp Bucks at the Fairless Hills branch

Y camp at the Fairless Hills branch offers a wide variety of camp options, including Adventure Camp (K-5), featuring sports, games, swimming, arts and science to build camaraderie, team skills and sheer joy for coming to camp each day. Specialty (creative) Camps, Sports Camp and Esports Camp are also offered at the branch, offering youth the opportunity to engage in the activities they are drawn to.

Esports/Technology Camp (grades 3-7), also at the branch, runs in the high-tech Metro Esports lounge under the supervision of high tech Metro Esports counselors. Esports/Tech camp blends gaming with education to enhance teamwork, creativity and problem-solving. Campers explore favorite games while learning design, development and business, guided by experts through hands-on activities and competitions.

Esports/Tech Camp in partnership with Metro Esports teaches more than gaming. Our tech camp teaches how games and tech hardware are conceived, designed and built. And yeah, the Esports Lounge is so cool, literally. (Photo courtesy of River Crossing YMCA)
