Thank you for considering a camp experience with us for your child.  I am confident our Summer 2025 season will be one of our best yet and I am thrilled to be returning for my 10th year as the director and my 5th year as a parent of campers. I hope your family will find YMCA Camp Timbers to be as much of a “home away from home” for your kids as it is for mine.

We believe all kids need a place like camp in their lives. A place for:

• Laughing and smiling with new friends
• Disconnecting from screens and reconnecting with each other
• Experiencing the fresh air, wonder, and adventure of nature
• Growing in confidence and self-esteem as they set and achieve goals
• Finding acceptance, self-worth, and a sense of belonging
• Enjoying the care-free joy of being a kid

As a parent of campers myself, I understand and appreciate how challenging it can be to entrust someone else with the care of your child. At YMCA Camp Timbers, our campers’ care and safety has always been our top priority. As a camp that is accredited by the American Camp Association, we are committed to the highest levels of quality, care, and safety in all that we do.

I would be happy to speak with you more about camp and to help answer your questions. You are welcome to contact me directly at 989-345-2630 or BAMiller@SaginawYMCA.org. It would be a privilege to partner with you to make this summer a fun, meaningful, and memorable one for your camper.
