About Camp Fox
|
The YMCA of Glendale has been providing youth and teens with a summer resident camp experience at Camp Fox on Catalina Island since 1926! Currently, we offer 5 camp weeks for ages 8-17 (all coed). Camp Fox offers a variety of fun, leadership and team-building activities on both land and sea!
We end each day with a campfire, where we sing songs and perform skits that include everyone at camp! All of our camp counselors are volunteer high school and college students and young adults; most have been involved in Camp Fox and all are highly trained for the age levels they work with at camp. Before registering, please read our parent handbook for all policies including our $75.00 non-refundable deposit policy and cancellations. |

Basic Program Descriptions
Coed Youth Camps: Ages 8-17
Coed Youth Camps provide a fun, unique camp experience geared to meet the needs of various ages through special activities and programs each day in addition to the land and ocean front activities! As you participate and enjoy the many aspects of camp life, you will meet and make new friends, have the opportunity to try new things and overcome fears. Senior Campers, ages 14-17, also have a nightly program that emphasizes team building and leadership development.
Teen Camps: Ages 12-17
Focused on our campers' mental, physical, emotional and spiritual way of life, our campers have one of the most memorable weeks of their lives; campers countdown the days until they are back at camp and most of our counselors and directors were past campers themselves! Those who are ages 16-17 can apply to be a part of our LTC Program (Counselor-In-Training) as well.

Testimonials
Camp Fox is a truly memorable and positive experience for our campers! Take a look at what some of our past campers have to say!
“Camp Fox has, once again, been an amazing experience. Everything my villa does, we do it with spirit and enthusiasm. We support each other and try new things. My favorite experiences were…well, I can’t choose. They were all amazing, especially because we did it as a group and encouraged each other… Thank you Camp Fox for being the light of my summer again!"- Camper
"I love camp so much! This is a place where I can be myself and no one cares because they are crazy too!" – Madison
“This is my first time to Camp Fox. I was scared that I wouldn’t make any friends but I was wrong. I made friends throughout the camp from different villas and cabins...I went snorkeling and paddle boarding. I’m afraid of heights so I went on the big swing and rock climbing. I'm afraid to sing in front of huge crowds, so I sang at the campfire with 3 other awesome girls. I conquered most of my fears and I thank the best counselor in the world plus Camp Fox!!!” – Camper
