Our Mission

The YMCA of Greater Hartford is an association, open to all and committed to helping people develop their God-given potential in spirit, mind and body. Our commitment is based on the belief that the purpose of this three-fold development is to live out the values of our Judeo-Christian heritage, including caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.

Welcome to Camp Woodstock YMCA

The Friendship Camp


Like any fine summer camp, Woodstock offers exceptional facilities and a wide variety of programs in a beautiful setting.

What sets us apart is the Woodstock spirit of friendship that results from our emphasis on our “ CHoRR” values of Caring, Honesty, Respect and Responsibility. At Woodstock, these life skills are taught and caught along side camp skills. We strive to create a community where character-building and having fun come together in one special place.

Our summer camps offer many options for kids and teens.

We offer both one and two week sessions where boys and girls ages 7-14 choose from over 30 daily activities and participate in creative evening programs unlike anywhere else. Teens 15 years of age may apply to our popular four week Leader-in-Training Program. Woodstock's Teen Adventure Program takes 14 to 16 year olds to some of the East's best outdoor "playgrounds" for high adventure unmatched by video games. To learn more about these programs and why so many Woodstockers come back year after year, click on "Summer Programs" and download a brochure.
