Parent-Child Weekend

In today’s busy world it is often difficult to find one-on-one time with our children. How often do parents and children get the chance to participate in exciting activities together? The Becket-Chimney Corners YMCA is pleased to offer a Parent-Child Weekend, designed especially for new and returning Camp Becket and Chimney Corners Camp families.

The Parent-Child Weekend will allow new camp families to experience the joy of the Becket-Chimney Corners YMCA facility for the first time. This weekend will provide a great opportunity to bond with your child(ren), create lasting memories and familiarize yourself with the camp property and programs. The schedule for the weekend is designed to allow parents and children to enjoy activities together. This is also a wonderful time to meet the staff of the YMCA and other families who are part of our community.


If you already know us from the summer months, then surely you remember Moms’ and Dads’ Weekends at Chimney Corners and Camp Becket. The Parent-Child Weekend is a chance to have a similar experience with your son or daughter. You will have a chance to see the camps as you may never have seen them before!
