GASTON COUNTY FAMILY YMCA
JOIN US IN SOMETHING BIG
Camping, like many Y programs, is about learning skills,
developing character and making friends. But few
environments are as special as camp, where kids become
a community as they learn both how to be more
independent and how to contribute to a group as they
engage in physical, social and educational activities.
As a 501(c)3, no one is turned away due to the inability
to pay. See the front desk for information about an
affordable income based rate.
