Mission

Celebrating its 117th summer in 2015, YMCA Camp Onyahsa offers great experience for youth, teens, families, and adults. Nestled in its own 180-acre wooded bay on Chautauqua Lake, Western New York, it offers organized summer residential and day camp sessions, off-site horseback riding, teen activities, leadership development, and much more. This summer’s theme is Fantastic Future.

Our mission is to promote excellence in youth development through quality camp programs that place a premium on participants’ safety, health, and happiness in an active outdoor environment.
