BEST SUMMER EVER!
Welcome to Ridgewood YMCA Camp Woods and get ready to have your Best Summer Ever!
Our goal at Camp Woods is to encourage social development and teach interpersonal life skills aligned with the YMCA’s four core values: caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility—all while having FUN!
Our programs offers a full-day camp experience as well as half-day options for our youngest campers (ages 3-5). Each week of camp boasts a different theme and is packed with field trips, special events, crafts, sports, and more!
NEW! SPECIALTY CAMP EXPANSION FOR 2025
Big news! To bring your child an even more exciting lineup of summer activities, we’ve moved our specialty camps to Somerville Elementary School. These camps now offer a full-day program, with half-day options for our youngest campers (ages 3-5).
*Please note: Creative Cooks specialty camps will continue to be held at the Ridgewood Y.
