YMCA CAMP RALPH S MASON INC

Founded in 1900, YMCA Camp Mason is one of the oldest continuously operating camps in the world. Over the years we earned note as one of the first camps to become totally integrated, one of the first in the YMCA system to become co-ed, and a pioneer of school-based outdoor education programs. In 1950 we developed and instituted residential school environmental education programs in partnership with the Trenton Public Schools, a model that is now nationally popular and widely adopted. Camp Mason produces positive experiences, life-learning, and skill-building for people from a diverse, multi-cultural domestic and international population. Our campers and students come from a variety of ethnic backgrounds, economic circumstances, and faith and religious beliefs. They travel to Camp Mason from throughout the United States and the world. Additionally, we actively seek to serve those who may be at-risk. As such, we provide meaningful financial assistance to a significant portion of our population. We aim for excellence in creative programming and strong management, and we are committed to maintaining a safe, secure, attractive, barrier-free facility that will also serve as a respected model of environmental education and stewardship.
