YMCA Camp Abnaki: SPECIALTY CAMPS
Special summer and off-season programs.
 
   Mini Camp I & II
  Our mini camps allow campers a transition into resident camping. Mini Camp II was formally known as First Timer’s Camp.

Mini campers spend three days and 3 nights at camp in a specialized program. Campers are able to sample all of the favorite camp activities in a shorter period of time. Activities are developmentally age appropriate and geared towards first time campers. Our goal is to provide a fun nurturing experience and to instill a desire to return to camp for years to come.

Our Mini Camp II provides campers an extended one week opportunity to experience camp in a program aimed at easing the worries and fears first time campers may have. Located in Mehkoa Village, campers will participate in all areas of camp but have a schedule that allows them to spend more time developing as a tight knit village.

   Counselor-In-Training Program
  For Young Men who have completed 10th grade

Our CIT program enables campers to become tomorrow’s leaders. The six week program is designed to help campers in the transition to counselor and to develop leadership skills which can be used in school or workplace. The CIT experience provides in-depth training in skill development, child development, group dynamics, and conflict resolution.

Each CIT lives in a cabin with 8 other CITs. The CITs are supervised and mentored by the CIT Director. There are plenty of opportunities for CITs to enjoy camp recreation, off-site trips, and special events.

All CITs must have an interview with the Camp Abnaki Director. CIT dates for this year are June 22 through July 26, 2008 for Session 1 and July 13 through August 16, 2008 for Session 2.  Sign up early there is limited space!! Minimum 4-week stay, see session dates for more info.
