Homecoming is more than an annual gathering. It is a chance to reconnect with your camp community and revisit the place that holds so many meaningful memories.

Spend the day enjoying camp activities, reconnecting with old friends, and exploring the camp you know and love. Throughout the day, you'll have opportunities to share camp with your family and friends, discover what's new, and experience the sense of belonging that has brought generations of campers back to Camp Chief Hector YMCA.
