Northfield Y Summer Camps — Friendship, Accomplishment, Belonging — Best Summer Ever!
Hello, families:
At Y camp, we are here to
make your kids feel welcome.
To help them quickly realize this
is a place where they belong
and can be themselves. Try new
things. Make new friends.
We are here to help your kids
grow in every way. We give
them opportunities to reach
levels they never imagined.
New skills. New experiences.
New parts of themselves.
We’re here to surround every
child with support, guidance
and fantastic chances to
discover and learn. A chance
to try until they succeed.
A chance to explore new
talents and interests.
We are here to foster
their curiosity and create
experiences that immerse
them in an atmosphere that
inspires, guiding them to
live healthy, help others and
work together, making strong
friendships that often last
a lifetime.
The Y is here to help them
flourish socially, emotionally,
cognitively and physically.
Rooted in caring, honesty,
respect and responsibility,
our holistic approach works
wonders, preparing kids for
life, one fantastic summer
at a time. Join us at the Y
this summer.
Regards,
Virginia Kaczmarek
Executive Director
Prairie and Wood
(Ages 5–12)
This program is a 5-day-a-week, half-day nature camp based at Carleton’s Farm House.
This program is a collaboration with Carleton College, which gives us daily access
to the rich resources of the Cowling Arboretum.
Camp activities include exploring nearby prairie, woodland, bog,
marsh, ponds, lake and river ecosystems; learning about rocks,
trees, plants and animals; creating environmental arts and crafts;
conducting experiments; and taking weekly trips to various
nearby nature areas. Come one week or come all summer.
Each week is unique, educational and tons of fun!
Low 1:5 staff to youth ratios for extra educational
opportunities and fun.
