YMCA Camp Sequoia Lake — Hotel in Dinuba

THE GOOD: Great scenery, a lot of fun activities for kids and adults if you enjoy the outdoors and everything that comes with it. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They do a great job of creating a family friendly atmosphere. Some of the adults we met that brought their young kids had been coming every summer since they were kids themselves so I believe that really adds to the great environment they have.

Great way to disconnect from the internet, reconnect to people and nature, and simply refill your soul. I agree with other reviewers on the food, but when I camp, I expect camp food, so I am never...

When I was in high school, having GREAT FUN and LEARNING IMPORTANT things every summer at the Fresno YMCA camp at Lake Sequoia. I went as a camper, once. Then I went as a worker (cleaning the grounds, toilets, working in the kitchen, cleaning the boats) and later as a camp counselor!!! I learned how to fish, hike in the mountains surrounding the lake, and LOVED walking in the forest...
