Welcome to Day Camp
Camp Jorn YMCA’s Day Camp is the perfect Northwoods escape for children ages 7–12 to explore, play, and grow all summer long. Each week features a new theme packed with activities that spark creativity, confidence, and connection — from canoeing, swimming, and archery to arts, crafts, and nature exploration.
Campers spend their days immersed in hands-on learning, teamwork, and outdoor adventure while building friendships that last a lifetime. Our caring and energetic counselors create a welcoming environment where every child feels supported and included.
