About Us
“I learned a lot about how to manage, operate, and create magic for a camp. I felt heard and understood in the Y community at this conference. ”
Welcome to the 2025 Northeast YMCA Camp Conference (NEYCC 2025)!
We’re excited to gather with over 250 dedicated camp professionals for what promises to be an inspiring and educational event. As always, our mission is to learn, grow, and collaborate to enhance the camp experience for all our campers in 2025 and beyond.
This year's conference will feature an engaging format designed to spark conversations and share expertise. Highlights include:
Educational Sessions led by experienced industry leaders.
Round Table Discussions and Open Forums to promote dialogue and problem-solving.
Keynote Speakers who will present on the most critical issues facing the camp and youth development sectors.
We look forward to coming together to share insights, challenge ideas, and work collectively toward improving the camp experience. Let’s make 2025 our best year yet!
Behind every great conference, is a great committee.
The Northeast YMCA Camp Conference is such an incredible experience because it’s run by dedicated volunteers - volunteers who are working as camp and Y professionals throughout the northeast, just like you! The conference committee strives to make sure every participant walks away feeling a renewed sense of energy for their work and a newfound sense of camaraderie with other camp professionals. If you are interested in serving on the committee or volunteering during the conference, we would love to hear from you! Please contact the Conference Chair at neyccfv@gmail.com
