Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Human Services, Physical Fitness & Community Recreational Facilities, Sports, Young Mens or Womens Associations
Mission: Camp mason serves children, adults and families by providing meaningful, outdoor-based experiences on a year round basis. Our programs encourage the development of life skills and enhance awareness of environmental stewardship, spirituality and respect for all people.
Programs: Summer camp: our resident camp and day camp provide opportunities for children to develop important life skills, such as teamwork, communication, leadership and empathy. All campers will develop their self-confidence and self-esteem by participating in a variety of activities in a supportive and nurturing environment. All programs emphasize the ymca's four core values of honesty, caring, respect and responsibility as well as encouraging physical activity and emotional well-being.
outdoor education: our school-based outdoor education programs served more than 8,200 children from more than 85 schools. Students - with their teachers and parents as chaperones - come to camp mason for programs ranging in length from 1-5 days. During their programs, they are taught a variety of classes focusing on natural history, environmental science and colonial living. Additionally, schools will participate in recreational programs such as hiking, boating and archery. Conferences & retreats: from late august through early june, camp mason provides facilities and programs that allow a wide variety of groups to conduct conferences and retreats for all their constituents. These range from a five day drug and alcohol abstention/awareness program for 300 plus new jersey teens to a one-day retreat program for a 20 person church youth group. Our outdoor environment with minimal distractions provides an excellent atmosphere for such events and programming services - including team building - help groups to meet their goals.
