Norwich Family YMCA

The Norwich Family YMCA’s camp Thompson is a 200-acre site located in Smyrna, NY. 2010 is the YMCA Camp’s 42nd camping season. Camp Thompson is a wonderful place for your children to spend their summer hiking the many trails, swimming in our own private lake or just enjoying the scenic environment surrounding them. The camp is well equipped with everything a camp needs including a main lodge with kitchen, dining and bathroom facilities, several sleeping cabins, a pavilion, shower house, playground, boathouse and more. Camp Thompson is within a short drive from the Norwich Family YMCA, but you don’t even need to worry about the drive because daily bus transportation is included in our camp programs.
