SUMMER

DESTINATION

Bear Valley Resident Camp

Bear Valley YMCA Camp has been a destination for summer adventure for more than 80 years. At Bear Valley, we believe that every child should have the opportunity to experience the wonders of the High Sierra in a safe and caring environment.

Located near Emigrant Gap, Bear Valley provides kids with rewarding and life changing experiences. Read below for camping opportunities for ages 8-13 (Traditional Camp), ages 14-16 (Counselor in Training), and all ages (Family Camp).

 

Plus! New this year: Volunteer Junior Counselors

Too old to be a CIT? Too young to be a Counselor? 17 year olds can volunteer at camp during the 2023 summer season as "Junior Counselors''!

We would like to welcome Gail Kenney to the Y Pickleball Team!

Gail will be helping with our Pickleball 101 adult classes and spearheading our Summer Jr. Pickleball Program.

 

Gail has been playing pickleball since 2017 after having seen a tv news segment about it.  It immediately became her passion and for the first two years she was a daily player. After retiring, she focused on qualifying as an IPTPA Level 2 certified coach, and has been working with students since 2020. Teaching pickleball is one of her great joys!

We’d like to recognize some awesome Pickleball Volunteers:
