Camp Overview
Wonderful times await you at Deer Valley YMCA Camp. Nestled in southern Somerset County at the base of Mount Davis, Pennsylvania's highest point, Deer Valley is a beautiful tradition that's brought families and friends together since 1957. Operated by the YMCA of Greater Pittsburgh, Deer Valley offers 742 acres filled with woodlands just waiting to be explored, hills and fields that beg to be played in and a picturesque lake perfect for sailing, swimming, or just admiring. It's no wonder people throughout the region come to Deer Valley again and again. There's so much to do at Deer Valley that it's almost hard to know where to begin. Here you can explore nature to your heart's content. Challenge yourself with new sports and activities. Get lost in the joy of creating art, or simply relax in the company of family and friends. At Deer Valley, every season offers its own unique experience and opportunities.
