Bedford Stuyvesant YMCA: Teen Camp

Teen Camp for the Greater New York City area is for young people who are currently enrolled in middle school and/or high school, and is designed to immerse campers in a variety of fun activities—tailored specifically to their age and interests—that keep them active, learning, and engaged.

Campers explore science, the arts, sports, and swimming, all with a focus on building skills, confidence, and strong peer relationships. Each session, campers participate in project-based learning, lunch with a professional mentor, and citywide trips (2 per week) designed to engage teens in developing their leadership skills, real-world experiences, career aspirations, and educational goals—all while making friends and having fun. Included are workshops that explore resume building and interview dynamics. Teen Camp creates memories, relationships, and experiences that they’ll carry with them for a lifetime!
