The St. Croix Teambuilding Center is a program at YMCA Camp St. Croix with a focus on building strong youth and adults. Trust, teamwork, confidence and support are all outcomes that a teambuilding experience will bring to groups of all ages.
Camp St. Croix offers a variety of special events programs throughout the year. Special Events include Women's Retreats in both the fall and spring, Breakfast with Santa, New Year's Eve for Families, Spring Fling and New Camper Orientation, Rally Day/Pancake Breakfast, and our annual Croixathlon.
To ensure a positive experience, select a camping program that is best for your child. Please let the YMCA know if you or your child has a disability requiring an accommodation. This information enables the YMCA to better meet the needs of your child, within available resources and to the extent reasonable.
We believe everyone should be able to participate in YMCA programs. Based on available resources, the YMCA provides financial assistance through its Y Partners Programs. Applications are available by e-mailing us or calling the Camp St. Croix office.
