Facilities
YMCA Camp Mohawk, a summer camp for girls, located in the Litchfield Hills of Northwestern Connecticut, is enhanced by miles of hiking and riding trails and our fresh water Mohawk Pond. Camp Mohawk has 24 screened camper cabins with electricity. We have basketball and tennis courts and a sports field. Our craft activities are located in our ceramic studio and arts and craft center. Mohawk also has a barn that houses our Farm Program and stables and 3 riding rings for our Riding Program. Our Rec Hall has a stage where our Drama Productions are held as well as the aerobics program. Our well-equipped Infirmary is supervised by our registered nurse, Shirley, who cares for camper’s health 24 hours a day. This will be Shirley’s fifth summer at Camp Mohawk. Our meals are served family style in our spacious Dining Hall by our professional Kitchen staff headed by Chef Paul, who is coming back for his 16th year at Mohawk. Campers enjoy a wide range of delicious meals plus our salad bar and our weekly cookouts on the beach. Our shower/bathing facility, The Lighthouse, was completely renovated in 1998.
Our facilities are
great for family reunions, business conferences, church/school
retreats, and youth groups of all ages. Please
take a look at our Rental Program.
The Staff Each cabin is under the leadership of a mature, caring counselor. Many of our counselors have come up through the ranks of Mohawk as campers, CIT, Junior Counselor, and then Counselor. Others are recruited throughout the United States and other English speaking countries such as England, Ireland, Scotland, and Australia. Counselors are selected based on their experience with children, energy, creativity, and a desire to share with children. All
staff are required to participate in an intensive pre-season on-site
training.
Good Health, Good Food and Good Friends! All activities are taught with an eye toward fun, learning and safety. A
fun-filled day is in store for your camper. Take
