January 25-27, 2023

We know that the Y camp industry has drastically changed in the last 3 years, and rebuilding this conference to pre-pandemic levels has been a multi-year endeavor. Last year, we were proud to host a smaller, roundtable-style conference that helped get the ball rolling on in-person events again! For 2023, we are opening up to a larger audience and combining some takeaways from 2022 with our more traditional educational style sessions. Plus, we plan to have something for all levels of camp professionals, from front-line staff to CEOs! We are anticipating around 150-200 attendees this year and can’t wait to be together to learn and grow so that our campers can have an even better experience in 2023.

If we had to say one thing The Northeast YMCA Camp Conference is known for, it would be its true camp feel.

Held at an actual summer camp (right here at Frost Valley YMCA!), the diversity of attendants ranges from camp counselors (college students in the off-season) to Executive Directors & CEOs.  Presenters are the best experts in the Y Camping field, camp professionals.  The committee putting on the Northeast YMCA Camp Conference is committed to this event always being full of networking opportunities with an intimate feel at an exceptionally affordable rate, with scholarships available to ensure that all camp pros have an opportunity to attend.

The NEYCC’s conference goals are simple yet meaningful:

• Connections – every participant walking away with at least one new colleague
• Maintaining the conference’s small & intimate feel
• Participants leaving with actionable knowledge – resources and tools they can put into place instantly

In March 2010, it was decided that the Conference will annually occur at Frost Valley YMCA during the last week in January.  Other events, such as Affinity Summits and meeting at the Tri-State Camp Conference, would occur throughout the year.
