Frost Valley YMCA is a camping, environmental education, and conferencing center located in Claryville, New York, part of the Catskill Mountains.
Throughout the rest of the year, Frost Valley hosts school groups and other organizations for environmental education and conferencing activities.
During the day, the camp schedule includes Specialties, Waterfront, Sports & Games, Feeling Good and an Evening Program.
Children receiving hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis, in chronic renal failure, or post-transplant, are able to participate in a traditional residential camp experience, while gaining confidence and independence, in what may be their first time away from home.
Special attention is given to the individual medical and developmental needs of each child, and treatment schedules are arranged to allow for maximum participation in camp activities.
Trips vary from traditional backcountry adventures to service learning expeditions focused on giving back to needy communities.
Activities available through the trip programs include whitewater rafting, rock climbing, backpacking, canoeing, surfing, skateboarding, spelunking, volunteer service, biking, sea kayaking, and high ropes.
Other offerings are beginning to appear as well including a Spring Break trip to New Orleans to assist Habitat for Humanity.
