CAMP LOCATION: Our location on Point Judith Pond on the Rhode Island coast is ideal for salt water aquatic activities. We are 45 minutes from Providence, 1 1/2 hours from Boston and 2 1/2 hours from New York City.
CAMP FACILITIES: Our campers live in rustic, well-kept cabins with eight campers and two staff in each cabin. Campers eat as a cabin group at our traditional camp dining hall. Point Judith Pond is our main program venue; we also have traditional land based program facilities such as archery, athletic fields and a skate park.
CAMP PROGRAM INFO: 2017 will be Camp Fuller's 130th year as a branch of the YMCA of Greater Providence. We take great pride in our camp history and traditions while always looking to add new and exciting program options. Our program schedule is designed to encourage skills development, particularly in our aquatic activities. Our best sailors race in local regattas and we have also attended wind-surfing regattas.
Our campers develop self-confidence and perseverance through learning skills. Many of our staff are "home grown" through our CIT program. In addition, we hire international staff to add a cultural richness to camp. All staff attend a week-long staff training that includes sessions on keeping children safe, program instruction and counseling skills. We also host international campers to further add to the diversity of our camp population.
CAMP LEADERSHIP CIT/LIT PROGRAMS: YMCA Camp Fuller has a two year leadership track: at age 15 campers are eligible to enroll in our Leadership Development program. The LD program is a four week program that promotes general leadership skills. It will prepare campers to be a Counselor In Training candidate at age 16 or older. The CIT program is a four week program that transitions campers to staff members.
