MIDDLETOWN – The YMCA of Middletown has been awarded a $1 million grant through the State’s NY SWIMS program to support the preservation, reconstruction, and modernization of the historic pool at Camp Robbins.
Camp Robbins has long been a cornerstone of summer fun serving children and families in Orange County. The pool has been the heart of the camp experience where thousands of kids have learned to swim, build confidence, and formed lifelong memories.
After decades of use, the pool new needs a comprehensive overhaul to meet modern safety, accessibility, and program standards.
“This $1,060,000 investment is about protecting a legacy and preparing it for the future,” said Ross Micelo, CEO of YMCA of Middletown. “Camp Robbins is deeply woven into the history of our community. Reconstructing the pool ensures that children today, and for generations to come, have a safe and welcoming place to learn lifesaving skills, experience joy, and feel a true sense of belonging.”
