2.00Join us for the Fall Gathering at YMCA Camp Tockwogh. This day event will be a time of networking and learning, a camp tour and of course some camp fun!
Opening Session: More and more campers are engaging deeply with educational programming—and loving it! This session led by Camp Tockwogh staff will explore how incorporating fun, choice-based learning opportunities can transform camper experiences and create lasting impact. We'll share what’s worked at our camp, the outcomes we’ve seen, and how any camp can seamlessly integrate education with play. Leave inspired with ideas to spark curiosity, creativity, and growth in your campers.
Character at Camp Session: We’re excited to host a session on the ACA’s Character at Camp Grant—an initiative focused on developing character through camp experiences. Brian Massey, Director of Innovation for the American Camp Association will dive into the Character at Camp Grant initiative and answer your questions. Learn more here: Character at Camp Grant
