Camp Tecumseh YMCA

The world needs camp. And we envision a world where people thrive and grow in harmony with others and the outdoors. A week at Tecumseh is an incredible amount of fun, but for over 100 years, it's been about more than that. Composed of nine one-week sessions, our overnight camp experience is intentionally built to ground our campers in core values. Creating a better world is a long road, but we’re helping our campers take the most important first step in a pursuit that will last the rest of their lives. 

From sports to arts and crafts and everything in between, our skill development clinics are designed not only to teach skills, but also to foster a love of learning and an appreciation for hard work and perseverance. At the beginning of the week, campers will choose two skill clinics to participate in for an hour every morning. Whether they are making friendship bracelets or tackling the Skywalkers high ropes course, we hope every camper goes home knowing the joy of accomplishment. 

Camp Tecumseh YMCA is a Christian camp that welcomes kids from all backgrounds. It’s not our primary goal to convert kids while they are at camp. Instead, we believe it’s our job to plant the seeds of Christianity by providing Christian role models and exposing our campers to the core values of faith, friendship, joy, initiative, respect, and trust. We’re guided by the I’m Third motto: God is most important to me. The other person is second only to him, and I’m third. Through daily chapels and cabin devotions, campers explore how much God loves them, how they can love others, and how they can love themselves for who God created them to be. No matter your child’s background or upbringing, they will be immersed in an atmosphere of love, care, and respect.
