Camp Overview
The South Mountain YMCA Camps, has operated as a YMCA Camp and Conference Center since 1948. Our resident camp, Camp Conrad Weiser provides a coed camping experience for youth ages 7-17 for one and two week sessions throughout the summer with over 200 campers per session. While most of our campers are from Pennsylvania and New Jersey, we also have campers throughout the United States and multiple countries abroad. We also offer Bynden Wood Day Camp which provides a day experience for over 160 campers ages 6-14 each week of the summer. Our staff campers live in modern log cabins and participate in activities like archery, rifle, trap, climbing, biking, swimming, canoeing, sailing, horseback riding, sports, nature, and creative arts.

Staff Qualities
We are constantly working to identify and recruit program and leadership talent. More than skills, we want people on our team that love working with children - we want staff that love seeing people grow. Our staff must have the character, the skills, and the desire to develop and serve the campers, parents, and fellow staff.
