The YMCA Resident Camping Program encourages friendship, cooperation, tolerance and teamwork with a group living environment. Campers are assigned cabins according to their age, gender, and friend request preferences. The values of honesty, caring, respect and responsibility are at the core of every activity. Camp duties and activities are scheduled and undertaken as a cabin group. However, campers also have the option of signing up for programs independent of their cabin. Sign up today and get ready for the adventure of a lifetime at Camp Bishop this summer!

Financial Assistance
Thinking about sending your child to YMCA Camp Bishop,  but not sure you can afford it? Financial assistance (supported by our Strong Kids Campaign) is available according to family income and size to help those who might otherwise not be able to attend camp.  Information on our financial assistance program is available at our Download Center. We also offer peanut sale fundraisers to offset the cost. Call or email to learn how to start.

Times are Tough. Time to Take Action. Time for the Y.
We understand times are tough. At the YMCA we are committed to helping our members, their families and our community. That's why we are here and that's why financial assistance is available. Your family is Y.

YMCA Camp Bishop is a traditional YMCA summer camp program committed to ensure a positive and safe camping experience for each child.  Our mature, well-trained counselors are outstanding role models.  They are trained as mentors who put campers first, helping our campers to grow in areas of independence, confidence and self esteem. 

Our Facilities foster the friend-making emphasis of our mission and programs. The beautiful waterfront setting and attractive cabins and lodges blend well into what we do best. In a relaxed, beautiful wooded setting, on the edge of the lake, we don’t only enjoy recreation; we aim to “re-create” in the Great Outdoors. Our Legacy extends beyond a summer. “The values learned in such a fun and friendly place live even beyond the memories.”

Full members of any YMCA receive our member rate.
Program members pay a $5 fee yearly to participate in YMCA programs.
