Our Staff are awesome! Ask any of our current or former campers.Many are chosen from our Leadership Development and Counselor-in-Training programs.They are trained mentors who put campers first.
Our Facilities foster the friend making emphasis of our mission driven programs.The beautiful setting and attractive cabins and lodge blend well into what we do best.
Our Legacy extends well beyond a summer at Lake Wenatchee YMCA Camp.The values and lessons learned at camp help each child to grow in Spirit Mind and Body, and contribute to the building of memories that last a lifetime.
SPIRIT - The YMCA was founded on Christian principles in 1844.The values of Caring, Honesty, Respect and Responsibility are stressed in daily chapels, cabin devotions and in all other activities at the Lake Wenatchee YMCA Camp.
MIND - Initiative activities give campers the opportunity to creatively solve problems and develop teamwork and communication skills; arts and crafts, songs and skits allow for creative expression; nature study and ecology teach respect for the environment around us.
BODY – Leave the TV and Nintendo DS behind as camp promotes physical fitness through a variety of activities including swimming, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, archery and hiking. Large and small group games develop coordination and provide exercise. The low ropes course is physically and mentally challenging and increases flexibility and confidence.Healthy meals andsnacks are prepared daily by our top notch kitchen staff.
We invite you to come and discover the magic of camp and enjoy fun activities in the great outdoors! Lake Wenatchee YMCA Camp offers progressive, values-oriented, camper-centered programs for youth ages 6-17. Our activities combine adventure, new friendships and personal growth, creating days as unique as each of our campers and memories that last a lifetime.
This is a camp work party from nearly 60 years ago. Shown here volunteers are cleaning the bricks from the old Gellatly Mansion. These bricks would later become the fireplace in the Larry Handy Lodge at camp.
