Program Details
Description

The Northeast YMCA Camp Conference (NEYCC) is held annually at Frost Valley YMCA and run by a volunteer committee of camp professionals from across the northeast. The 2023 Committee is chaired by Jiné Andreozzi, Executive Director at YMCA Camp Chingachgook in Lake George, NY. She is supported by a committee representing YMCA camp professionals from day camps, overnight camps, and conference/retreat/outdoor education centers. Our mission is to provide inspirational learning opportunities, encourage professional connections, and support professional advancement for everyone in the field of YMCA camping. 

We know that the Y camp industry has drastically changed in the last 3 years, and rebuilding this conference to pre-pandemic levels has been a multi-year endeavor. In 2022, we were proud to host a smaller, roundtable-style conference that helped get the ball rolling on in-person events again. For 2023, we are opening up to a larger audience and combining some takeaways from 2022 with our more traditional educational style sessions. Plus, we will have something for all levels of camp professionals, from front-line staff to CEOs!  We are anticipating around 150-200 attendees this year and can’t wait to be together to learn and grow so that our campers can have an even better experience in 2023.

 

The conference format will include educational sessions led by a dedicated speaker, round-tables & open discussions, and keynote speakers who present on pressing issues in the camp and youth development industries. Topics covered may include staffing and pay equity, fundraising, strategic planning/budgeting, and diversity/inclusion. Our conference committee and presenters, all experts in the camping industry, are committed to providing attendees with a small intimate feel conducive for networking, hands-on knowledge, resources and tools to be put into immediate use, and an affordable rate.

We have a variety of lodging and pricing options for this event from shared dorm style facilities to single hotel style rooms. NEYCC also offers a student rate, as we believe our conference can really help develop seasonal staff who are full-time students. Lodging is available first come first served and the full conference rate includes the full conference experience: 2 nights lodging, all meals from Monday lunch to Wednesday lunch, and evening social events. Questions? Reach out to our committee at neyccfv@gmail.com and we can't wait to see you in January!
