Environmental Education

Camp St. Croix has been building traditions in outdoor learning since 1984 with a special emphasis on respect and responsibility for the natural environment. The program serves over 6000 students each year with day and residential environmental learning programs.

School Age Care

With so many demands on today's families, parents need all the support they can get. That's why School Age Care is about more than looking after your kids. It's about nurturing your child's development by providing a safe place to learn foundational skills, develop healthy, trusting relationships and build self-reliance through the Y values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.

Team Building

The St. Croix Teambuilding Center is a program at YMCA Camp St. Croix with a focus on building strong youth and adults. Trust, teamwork, confidence and support are all outcomes that a teambuilding experience will bring to groups of all ages.

Conferences & Retreats

Conferences & Retreats offer a unique time for building community, whether you're a church group, non-profit organization, a business, or conference event. A/V, custom programming and meals available. 7000+ participants join us annually to learn, play and build relationships.
