your kids will love MINI-CAMPS!

SUMMER 2023 REGISTRATION OPENS ON February 1st!

Adventure and wonder await your kids at Triangle Y Ranch Camp! Nestled on more than 300 acres at the base of the Santa Catalina Mountains your kids will reconnect with nature at Tri-Y! Instead of screens your kids will walk, play and feel the world around them. Their days will be full of exploring the great outdoors as they enjoy archery, horseback riding, and hikes. Swimming and craft-making are also on the agenda.  Our campers eat great food, sing camp songs, perform skits and look up at the stars. But most importantly they will build connections and friendships.

About the Triangle Y MINI-CAMP Experience:

Not quite ready for a full session of Overnight Camp? Mini Overnight Camp is an abbreviated camp experience designed to introduce first-time campers, ages 6-8 to Tri-Y!  These campers attend Tri-Y for four days and three nights and will get an introduction to camp life, activities, and traditions. We increase the staff-to-camper ratio so that our youngest campers have the best experience possible.

Mini Campers’ accommodations are in the lodges and are separated from the older campers. This allows us to slow down the schedule and give them more space to acclimate to the camp.

2023 Registration opens february 1st!
