Renew, refresh & inspire

Silver Bay YMCA is a conference and family retreat center located in the Adirondack State Park on the beautiful shores of Lake George in New York. Since 1902, we have excelled in providing programs and services that help all people to feel renewed, refreshed, and inspired. Everything you see on campus today was formed over the past 117 years by our caring staff, amazing guests and generous benefactors. It is their dedication, their hopes and dreams for this location and all their hard work that has shaped the Silver Bay of today.

See why guests keep coming back year after year!

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. read less

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. read less

Surrounded by nature, clean, beautifully aged buildings, responsive and friendly employees, unexpectedly good food. The grounds are amazing; peony and lavender were in bloom.  Both mornings I climbed the red trail to Sunrise Overlook and then jumped in to the lake (bracing! not for everyone).  The buildings are spaced out enough so that you feel community without feeling crowded.  This is the second YMCA I have been to (Estes Park is the other one) and they are so perfect for people who like simple luxury and outdoors. read less
