“Silver Bay YMCA is one of those hidden gems that keep me from despairing about the rampant commercialism of our beautiful lake and mountain communities. I attended a YMCA-related work conference at Silver Bay, located in the midst of the Adirondacks on the northern end of Lake George. The price was affordable, the campus breathtakingly gorgeous, and the experience soul-fulfilling. The YMCA is committed to the original mission of the 115 year old Silver Bay Conference and Retreat Center, which is all about spiritual renewal and training for life. The updated mission speaks to the spiritual longings of families and organizations today: "to foster a lifelong sense of belonging, strengthen relationships, and nurture spirit, mind, and body for all." During our conference week, a group of Canadian middle school kids attended an environmental camp, a vital program that the YMCA does very well. Had the food been better, I would have given five stars. I think that they may be in transition since they have torn down the old dining hall and are in the midst of building a new conference center. I look forward to returning!”

“I go visit each year for a Bar Association retreat. This year one of us left a $100 bill in the room. I called to ask if it had been found, never expecting that it had or that anyone would admit it. It had been found, and they mailed it back to me! Besides this, the location is so pretty and soothing, the grounds and buildings so pretty that I never want to leave. I prefer the main Inn to the other buildings, but they are all nice.”

“My partner and I decided to come to Hague, NY for our vacation week to see Lake George. The Silver Bay YMCA is perfect for recreational activities like boating, kayaking, archery, swimming, paddle-boarding, gym and yoga actives, arts and crafts, and tennis (among other things too). The price is very affordable for what we were looking for. A 1 day two-person pass was $52 for all access to everything on the campus. The marina down the road charges $60 for a full day rental of a kayak when you can do that and more for the 1 day price at this YMCA. I would highly recommend staying here if you are into the recreational out doors and want to be able to do and see everything in one place.”

“This place was great for a weekend getaway. I stayed at the William Boyd center. The room was exceptionally clean. The staff was friendly. There are plenty of activities. It’s great for families. My visit included meals. The food was okay. Cafeteria type food. It’s about 30 min drive into lake George Town. “
