Camp Jorn YMCA's Master Plan

Camp Jorn YMCA has touched the lives of more than 25,000 children and families through its mission driven programs since 1953.   

Camp Jorn YMCA is committed to ensuring a positive and safe camping experience for each person who walks the paths of Camp Jorn YMCA.  Camp focuses on character development, and helps youth to grow in areas of independence, confidence, and esteem. 

Camp's successful history is due to its qualified staff, variety of progressive programs, quality food and medical services, ideal natural Northwood's Wisconsin setting, and facilities.


Camp honors the tradition of Resident Camp, Childcare, Day Camp, Family Camps and Rentals/Retreats.  Camp Jorn YMCA understands the value of a positive and fun camp experience.


This is the first master plan Camp Jorn has created for its property. The master plan reflects the desired natural setting, architecture,  landscape, and the social environment that make the "sense of  place" unique to Camp Jorn.  The master plan will be used to  conserve and develop the property with a unified strategy and style.

The objectives of the master plan include:

  • Communicate the direction, vision and philosophy of Camp
  • Research potential programs, facilities, and Camp size
  • Build consensus on the long-term vision for Camp
  • Works as a diverse group of people to prepare the plan
  • Explore alternatives to "think outside the box"
  • Create a physical site plan and document to serve as an
    effective tool for evaluation, fund raising, and support

In order to be successful, the master plan needs to be based on realistic solutions, while striving for the ideal setting.  The master plan is a flexible document that will adapt to changing conditions and interests.  The plan provides general guidelines to direct the conservation and development of the Camp Property.
