Camp Time

While at YMCA Camp Coniston you don't really pay attention to the clock.

The camp uses a loud, clear bell to call campers to meals, signal movement between program periods, and to call everyone together for flag raising and lowering.

Those who are interesting in knowing the time can reference the official "CAMP TIME" clock mounted on the main office building. They just need to be careful to check at 4:40 am or pm, because this clock is only correct twice a day!

Monday - Saturday

This is how our campers spend their days!
Our daily schedule contains 4 activity periods a day.

Campers have a Monday-Wednesday-Friday activity schedule and a Tuesday-Thursday-Saturday activity schedule.

Every camper has instructional swimming, and 7 other classes in his/her schedule.
