Welcome to Camp Collins. YMCA Camp Collins is a division of the YMCA of Columbia-Willamette, which provides services in the Portland and Vancouver regional area.
Every child should have the opportunity to experience summer at YMCA overnight camp! At Camp Collins, located along the Sandy River just east of Gresham, OR, campers ages 6-17 are given a fun, safe and supportive environment to learn and explore, while embracing the YMCA core values of love, respect, honesty, responsibility and service.
Every day at Camp Collins is an exciting outdoor adventure, where campers build confidence, make friends, have fun, learn and play together. Our professionally trained counselors and staff encourage campers to try a variety of exciting outdoor activities such as tubing, swimming, climbing, horseback riding, bouldering, and so much more.
More than 60% of our campers and staff return each year to share their summer with us because Camp Collins is more than just a fun way to spend the summer, it is an 83 year tradition of friendship and caring.
