A Beautiful Site
Fairview Lake YMCA sits on mile-long Fairview Lake in Northwestern New Jersey.
Our 600 acres adjoin the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, providing
access to the Appalachian Trail, the Delaware River, unlimited hiking possibilities
and breathtaking views. Two waterfronts and a fleet of canoes, rowboats, kayaks,
sailboats, and windsurfers offer a wide variety of waterfront activities.
Our Excellent Staff
Fairview Lake YMCA Staff is committed to providing a positive experience for each and every camper. Our leadership team has over 140 years of professional camping experience. Our summer staff is selected with great care, to ensure that we have a diverse group of skilled and responsible counselors who care about children. Many are college students pursuing careers in education or other social service fields. Before the first campers arrive, the entire staff participates in intensive training, which focuses on safety, counseling techniques such as conflict resolution and values clarification, teaching, and camp policies and procedures. Our insistence on the highest standards ensures that we can keep our promise of a fun, high quality experience for our campers. |
