ywca summer camp
Camp OrindA
Dumont, NJ





Our camps offer children a summer of fun and friendship in a safe, supportive environment. Our staff of responsible professionals and experienced students is dedicated to our campers.

Typical activities include arts & crafts, music, sports and nature as well as American Red Cross swimming lessons. In order to support working parents, we also provide pre- and post-camp care.

We are committed to making your child's camping experience fun, safe, educational and rewarding, and we welcome your questions and comments.

    CIT Programs

    The goal of our Counselor in Training (CIT) program is to help young adults learn valuable skills that they will use throughout their lives.

    We offer 2 steps in our CIT Program:

    Step 1: 13 & 14-year-olds. This program takes place at our day camps. The goal is to develop leadership in teens by helping them learn how to effectively lead groups of children in a camp setting.

    Step 2: 15 & 16-year-olds. Held at Camp Ma-Kee-Ya or our day camps, where CIT’s assist senior counselors, help run the camp store and lead special events.
