Philosophy: If you’re searching for a camp that truly feels like a second home, Camp Fox on Catalina Island is a standout choice. Since 1926, this YMCA camp has been all about building lifelong friendships, boosting confidence, and letting kids discover who they are away from screens and daily routines. What makes Camp Fox unique is its spectacular island setting-kids spend their days kayaking, snorkeling, rock climbing, and making memories around nightly campfires. The camp’s team is made up of dedicated staff and volunteers, many of whom are former campers themselves, so they really understand how to make every child feel included and valued. Camp Fox’s philosophy centers on personal growth, teamwork, and leadership, all wrapped up in a week of fun and adventure. Your child will have the freedom to pick activities that excite them, build new skills, and gain independence in a supportive, caring environment. The camp’s strong sense of tradition means that many families return year after year, and it’s not uncommon for campers to become counselors, passing on the magic to the next generation. If you want your child to unplug, connect with nature, and come home with stories they’ll never forget, Camp Fox is a place where those moments happen every summer.
