The Main Camp program at YMCA Camp Kern is a world where imagination comes alive! Campers spend a magical week participating in their choice of daily activities while making friends and creating lasting memories on Camp Kern’s beautiful 485 acres.
Activities include canoeing, digital photography, archery, tango tower, BBs, drama, nature, radio, arts and crafts, sports, swimming, disc golf, rock climbing, and many more.
Our progressive programs allow for new skill orientation each year a camper returns to camp with specialized activities for each age group. Camp Kern’s unique and exciting evening activities are bursting with energy. Games such as Under Siege, Alien Hunt, Medieval, Willy Wonka, and Harry Potter Day make fantasy a reality, while building camper teamwork and leadership skills. No week at Camp Kern is complete without the traditional campfires, songs, night hikes, and Camp Outs.
Main Camp is divided into four villages by age. Please choose the village most suited for your camper to ensure the best cabin placement.
