Overnight camp experiences at Camp Silver Creek, nestled in the heart of Silver Falls State Park, invite kids, teens, and families to unplug, explore, and grow together. Week-long sessions and shorter introductory stays help campers build confidence, form lasting friendships, and enjoy classic camp fun in a supportive, values-driven outdoor setting. Campers spend their days swimming, hiking forest trails, paddling and boating, creating art, learning archery, playing field games, exploring the creek, fishing, and gathering around campfires.

Beyond traditional youth sessions, Camp Silver Creek offers Teen Camp experiences with greater independence and challenge, a Leaders-in-Training program that helps teens develop leadership and responsibility, and the YMCA’s Bold & Gold program, focused on personal growth, confidence, and belonging. Family Camp weekends bring generations together to share camp life, adventure, and connection in the woods, making Camp Silver Creek a place where every age can belong and thrive.
