YMCA Camp Greendale on Indian Lake

Greendale Family Branch YMCA
Worcester, Massachusetts

YMCA Camp, like many Y programs, is about learning skills, developing character, and making friends. Our camp programs teach self-reliance, a love for nature and the outdoors, and the development of attitudes and practices that build character and leadership—all amidst the fun of playing in our splash pad, swimming, archery, playing a variety sports, arts & crafts, talent shows, and building meaningful relationships. Our Y camp counselors are dedicated to making sure camp is an amazing experience for every camper!

The YMCA’s Summer Day Camp programs are in compliance with the regulations of the MA Department of Public Health and meet regulations through the MA Department of Health.

Leadership Development Program (LDP1) (Ages 13 & 14)

(must be age 13 by 6/1/2026)

Our Leadership Development Program at Camp Greendale is designed as an opportunity to further invest in our teens and build their leadership skills. This program is intended for teens interested in working on their skills and personal growth with the goal of working as a camp counselor. The program works on the teen's leadership attributes through service learning and adventure programming. The skills that they will develop and acquire through this program are transferable outside of the camp environment and benefit the teen in school, at home, and in the community around them. Our program will give your teen age-appropriate challenges to build their skills, confidence, and capacity for working with people of all ages.

This program consists of two tracks:
LDP 1 (ages 13 & 14)
LDP 2 (ages 15 & 16)

Our LDP 1 group will be led by a Youth Development Staff Team that will provide an appropriate curriculum for leadership development while allowing for opportunities for the LDPs to experience leading campers and enjoying the camp activities.

All LDPs and their guardians will be required to attend an orientation session in early June to set clear expectations and generate excitement for the summer!

Safety Around Water

For more than 160 years, the YMCA has nurtured potential and united communities across America to create lasting, meaningful change. One of the most effective ways to accomplish this is to teach youth, teens, and adults to swim, so they can stay safe around water and learn the skills they need to make swimming a lifelong pursuit for staying healthy. Y swim instructors are nationally certified. Their training includes CPR, AED, First Aid and Oxygen Administration. Swim lessons provide important life skills that could save a life and will benefit students for a lifetime.
