Dates, Rates and Themes

Make your camper’s stay memorable with camp themes.

Themes help make your camper’s stay even more memorable with activities centered around buried treasure, super heroes, and more! Teen adventure camps offer a great alternative to our more seasoned campers, with a bit more thrill! And leadership camps are a wonderful option for teens looking to grow and boost their resume or something to add to college applications.

All camp sessions begin on Sundays and end on Fridays. Most camp sessions are one week, with a two-week option available for Teen Adventure Camps and Leaders In Training Camps.

Some sessions include a “Weekend Bridge” between two sessions for the professional camper who wants to stay multiple weeks. This unique experience includes pool parties, and exclusive access to camp activities before the next session of camp begins.

Information on financial assistance is available.

No. Full payment is due two weeks prior to the start of your camp week. You may also use our convenient payment plan and pay monthly via a credit card and/or bank draft.

Yes, we encourage your child to bring items related to the theme of the week to make it fun and get them excited about the week ahead! Please remember to label all clothing and items brought to camp with their first and last name and do not bring anything valuable. Also remember while it’s fun to bring theme-related items, try and keep the packing list on the light side.

Should it be necessary for you to change or cancel your child’s session, you must contact YMCA Camp Cullen at least two weeks prior to the beginning of the session. Changes will be made based on availability. Your registration must be canceled in writing (email) by Friday prior.
