Deer Valley YMCA Family Camp

Deer Valley is our favorite place on earth! I've camped here since I was three years old and nothing beats the mountains, friendships, and memories created here. Truly the best escape every summer!

A beautiful camp for families during the summer and all kinds of folks/companies year round. My favorite place to disconnect from the outside world and be in nature!

Going to Deer Valley is one of my most memorable childhood memories... way back from the 80s and early 90s. We still have the VHS tapes from there. The paddle boats, the docks, the "Big Red Castle" as I called it as a kid, which was the concession building that served ice cream at the top of the hill... the cabins we stayed in and the dining hall that hit you with maple syrup and coffee smells... I remember the skits they'd perform at the campfire area along the lake. Its been over 3 decades since I've been there, but to this day Deer Valley left memories in my life that ill never forget. I hope beyond hope that families today still get to experience this magical place. We even climbed Mt. Davis one year. If you live in Western PA, this camp is the best place to create generational memori

As a former YMCA staff member I have attended several camps in various states. In my opinion this camp is the best of the best. It is a beautiful facility, well run by dedicated staff where customer service is a priority. The accommodations are top notch and the food is outstanding. You can be certain that the staff will go out of their way to make your visit a memorable experience.

Our family has been camping for 17 years and we're still considered "new." We've made lifelong friends that we consider family. From summer camp to winter weekends, my kids are always up for a trip to the mountain. When your kids ASK to drive to a place with limited cell service so they can volunteer their time at a place they love, you know you've found something special. Truly a wonderful way to unplug, reconnect with your loved ones and have an adventure!
