YMCA Camp Shepard in Westfield

A great local camp!

Campers come home filthy which is what we want with lots of outdoor activities. They do one family night and sleepover for one night for the campers each session.

I'm 30 now, I was 5 when I attended. It's a core memory now. I remember me and the other kids huddled around, fascinated by a cool bug. 😂

Great place for my grandaughter to spend her summer, love the idea of family night.

My young daughters have been going here for the past two summers. The do a few 2 week sessions. They love it. Lots of experiences and memories. Went to Family Night last night where all the kids do skits, and my eldest is spending the night. It was a good time..though you may want to bring a chair or a cushion with you.

We rode an old-school MTN bike loop that was a throw back. The beginning was pretty rocky, rooty and twisty and the second part was mellower. So there was a variety if terrain on when a relatively short piece of trail. A few technical challenges with go arounds keep it unresting Nice trails to have so close to home. Not beginner level... Enjoy!

My daughter loves going but for only a couple days. She says the pool is freezing and the bathrooms are gross. She does enjoy the archery and walks.

The area here is very nice. There's a pool right front and center with bathrooms, lockers and showers and there's Pavilion behind the pool as well as seated areas in many spots around the the camp area. There is a trail that is walkable that brings you the different places that is used by the camp though I'm not sure why and it was a nice day. Not many bugs also there is a shade except of course with a the pool is. Very nice very recommended.
