Frost Valley YMCA

Established in 1901 as one of the nation's first summer camps, Frost Valley YMCA now provides four seasons of outdoor, experiential and educational opportunities. Frost Valley YMCA is a 6,000 acre residential camping, environmental education, and conference center located in the heart of the “forever wild” Catskill Mountain Preserve. The Frost Valley YMCA mission is to put Judeo/Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all. In pursuit of this mission, we strive to embody the following core values: Caring: We go beyond ourselves to do what we can for all. Diversity: We promote a culture of respect and value diversity. Honesty: We maintain the trust of surrounding community, guests and fellow staff through honesty with ourselves and others. Inclusiveness: We open hearts and minds to all people. Respect: We feel and show honor and consideration for others, the environment, health and ourselves through our actions, services and deeds. Responsibility: We hold ourselves accountable for what we do, accept results of the actions we take, and seek to fulfill expectations of our staff and guests Stewardship: We strive to be conscientious caretakers of our facilities, natural resources, environment, community and each other, now and in the future. Community: We work together to create shared connections. As a charitable organization, we raise funds throughout the year for camperships that cover the costs of camp for children and families who would not otherwise be able to attend.
