YMCA Camp Shaver.

I love Camp Shaver!!!

My daughter went for a week and had an amazing time. She reports the beds are comfortable, and facilities were clean. Happy she had the opportunity for this experience.

love the gaga pit.

My 11 yr old went there for the first time and he had such a great time! He spoke very highly of the camp counselors, the activities, the food. Thank you to CIT Ocean and Chris P Cream and Travis Merrill the camp Director for your hard work and dedication to providing kids with a fun, healthy and memorable experience. Highly recommend!

TRAUMATIZING AND FILTHY. The rain leaked in my son's cabin drenching his bedding and the contents of his suitcase. children from another cabin threw his sweater and socks (and those of other children) into the river. His raincoat was stolen. His group leaders were too lazy to walk to boys to the bathroom, and instructed them to go in the woods. Boys were both pooping and urinating behind the cabin. They also had to change in their sleeping bags, again, because the leader didn't want to walk them to the changing rooms. He reported that the bathrooms had poop everywhere, and that they were asked to scrub urinals and the inside of toilets with a washcloth. He was only able to take two showers during the entire week. His leader consistently forgot to give him his medicine. And, when they went on the overnight trip, he forgot their food, so from lunch on Wednesday to lunch on Thursday he had only one bagel to sustain him. He was bullied, the leaders in his cabin and boys were constantly swearing, and his sister found him in tears every night. He was not permitted to call me when he asked to do so. I am deeply troubled because not a single caring adult checked in on him, he was neglected, and the facility is in shambles.

Camp Shaver was one of the best experiences of my life. I never had so much fun and enjoyed everything and everybody Even though it’s been 50 years - it seems like it was yesterday! Keep rocking !!!

this camp is the best summer camp EVER , the staff are fantastic and although the cabins , bathhouse, dining hall, and pretty much everything is worn down, you still have so much fun! The food is really good for a summer camp, the actives always are extremely fun and no matter what everyone is having a fantastic time. the staff is well trained and you can really tell. A family member of mine passed away while i was here and the staff , (locki) comforted me and made me feel much better. No matter the circumstances i never had a bad time. everyone is super fun and makes sure you are always laughing, not a single dry moment here. you will have so much fun as long as you aren’t afraid to get a little dirty in the mud pit or dance to silly dances at the campfire. honestly i have zero to no complaints . FANTASTIC CAMP!!

Great experience.

My kid LOVED the week she spent here! What a beautiful place with great staff.

This place is seriously falling apart and needs money spent on upkeep. With that said, the staff is clearly what people come back for. Without them, this place would be nothing. This was our kid's first time and they both loved it. I was a bit frustrated with hearing a few rules upon dropoff that seemed a bit overly strict for them (don't hang bags in the bunks?!) But in the end, they worked with us with cost, and the kids learned some good lessons. I just hope with how expensive camp is, that somebody somewhere isn't simply just getting fat pockets instead of putting some back into the program. I'm sure they get plenty of donations too, so unsure why they can't fix crooked wooden splintery boards and such.
