Camp Sargent Experience
Located on Lake Naticook in Merrimack, Camp Sargent has offered local youth, ages 5-16, a superior day camp program since 1924. Kids attend for one to ten weeks to take part in traditional camp activities, spend their summer time gaining skills and confidence, and experience the joys of childhood.
- $584,000 was invested by the Y and our funding partners toward community-based initiatives. We provide several evidence-based programs at no cost including: YMCA Power Scholars Academy, LiveSTRONG at the YMCA, Prescribe the Y, and Superhero Training Academy. Additionally we demonstrate social responsibility by allowing many non-profits free use of our facilities to plan and carryout their work and Y staff play an active role in many community-wide initiatives related to closing the achievement gap and public health.
