There are 16 YMCA camps in Michigan for kids and teens, offering a variety of camp programs to meet the individual needs of campers.

Michigan YMCA camps not only teach the YMCA core values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility, but also use these values to guide individual behaviors and organizational practices.

ALL Michigan Y Camps welcome campers, families, and staff of ALL backgrounds, faiths, and identities, celebrating the value that diverse perspectives and identities bring to our camp communities.

For over 100 years, Michigan’s YMCA camps have given kids opportunities to explore the outdoors, build confidence, and make lasting friendships and memories.

Michigan Y camps provide young adults with early work experience, employing some 1,300 of them as summer overnight camp leaders each year.

Michigan YMCA camps award over 1.8 million dollars of financial assistance to help campers access the transformational power of camp.
