Summer Camp Open Houses
Open Houses are a great way for you and your child to get to know camp a bit better, ask questions in person, get help with registration, and feel more comfortable about camp!

Traditional Sleepaway Camp
Fairview Lake YMCA Camps offer campers a beautiful, fun, adventurous setting in which to grow, play, and thrive. Each of our camps has traditions, songs, and stories that develop a sense of belonging for campers, even if it's their first time away from home. Our highly trained and caring staff are selected to ensure the safety of our campers, and to help them realize their full potential, make new friends and try new activities.

Each camper or “Ranchie” will be taught riding and horsemanship skills, including grooming, tacking, and barn work.
