WELCOME TO YMCA CAMP ROGER
Little Rogers
Little Rogers are certainly the cutest campers on the mountain! Designed for our youngest participants, to get them acclimated to camp life, Little Rogers is a two-day, one-night experience at YMCA Camp Roger for explorers ages 5-6 years old. Check-in starts at 9:15 am on Thursday mornings, and check-out is with the rest of camp at on Friday evenings. This camp is the perfect experience for first-timers! To keep them extra safe, Little Roger's will not participate in any swimming or activities involving horses - but trust us, there's SO MUCH fun to be had!
Mini Camp
Designed for those campers who are not quite ready to spend an entire week away from home, our Mini Camp experience offers the same kind of fun in a shorter amount of time. Mini Camp camper's check-in will be on Sundays with everyone else but check out on Wednesdays at 3:30 PM. Mini Campers (depending on the group and ability) may participate in archery, arts and crafts, cook-out breakfast, fire building, circus, nature, and orienteering. While we believe Mini Camp is the perfect opportunity for first-time campers, we are sure they will return home ready for so much more time on the mountain!
Traditional Camp
Traditional Camp provides an opportunity for campers to participate in the wide range of activities offered at Camp Roger, including mountain biking, archery, hiking, arts and crafts, orienteering, outdoor cooking, and theater. With a special focus on relationship building you can be assured that you camper will make memories for a lifetime. Traditional Camp offers the best "all around" camping experience plus you can connect any traditional camp session with any other camp session with a weekend stay over.
Leadership Camps
Camp Roger’s Leadership Programs offer older campers the chance to grow through experience—learning by doing, connecting, and leading within our camp community. Each program stands on its own; there are no prerequisites or required steps between them, allowing teens to join when the time feels right for them. Every leadership participant is supported by designated leadership specialists who ensure safety, structure, and meaningful mentorship. While the magic of camp fun remains the experience naturally evolves as campers grow. Activities, goals, and responsibilities are intentionally matched to each age group while still enjoying the freedom and joy that make Camp Roger unforgettable.
Rising Stars
This unique camp program are for campers who are too old for traditional camp but not so interested in a leadership program or excursions . . . so we present to you-- TEEN CAMP! Teens from the ages of 13-17 who register for this unique week will have the opportunity to enjoy traditional camp with a twist. The typical program offerings will still be available with the same amazing staff on site. However, campers during teen week will get to build their own activity schedules with options not typically available to traditional camp (such as more complicated crafts, longer hikes, overnight camping, more sports-- the possibilities are endless)!
Leaders In Training (LIT)
For teens who have grown through camp and are ready for the next challenge, the Leaders in Training (LIT) program bridges the gap between camper and counselor. This two-week, fully supervised leadership experience helps teens grow independence, confidence, and real-world skills while staying grounded in the YMCA values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility. Each day blends adventure with purpose. LITs work alongside our staff in program areas like archery, arts and crafts, horseback riding, and mountain biking to develop 1:1 skills like teamwork, communication, and problem-solving in action. During the second week, campers take part in a three-day, two-night off-site trip in the Uinta's building resilience and deep bonds with fellow leaders that often last for years. There are no additional costs or supplies required for this trip; all equipment, planning, and supervision are provided by YMCA Camp Roger.
Before camp begins, each participant completes a short, supportive reflection essay (about 250 words). It’s not graded or used for acceptance—just a guided way to build confidence in expressing themselves, preparing for future college or job applications. In February, Camp Director Jake Green will reach out to the primary registration email with the essay prompt and simple instructions. LITs are supported every step of the way by trained counselors and leadership mentors. They’ll return home with greater self-awareness, teamwork skills, and the confidence to lead.
Counselor In Training (CIT)
The Counselor in Training (CIT) experience is Camp Roger’s capstone leadership program. Over three intentional weeks, campers step into real responsibility, learning what it means to lead with confidence and empathy while being surrounded by unmatched beauty in the outdoors. Guided by dedicated counselors and leadership specialists, CITs take on meaningful roles throughout camp, practicing leadership in action. Every day offers opportunities to build communication skills, problem-solve, and grow in independence. Along the way, they gain real experience to highlight on college and job applications and open doors to future opportunities at Camp Roger and beyond. In their second week, CITs take part in a four-day, three-night off-site trip in the Uinta's, designed to deepen independence, teamwork, and reflection. There are no additional costs or supplies required for this trip; all equipment, planning, and supervision are provided by YMCA Camp Roger.
Before camp, each CIT will have a brief, virtual "interview" with Camp Director Jake Green. This is not an interview in the traditional sense—it’s a safe, encouraging space for teens to practice speaking about their goals and strengths, guided by an experienced mentor who has conducted skill evaluation for hundreds of camp counselors during his decade of experience with the YMCA.
This program isn’t about perfection or pressure—it’s about becoming. CITs are supported, challenged, and encouraged in equal measure. They’ll come home taller in spirit, more grounded in who they are, and better prepared for what comes next—whether that’s college, a job, or simply the next adventure life brings.
