Overview
Sherman Lake YMCA Camp is one of the newest YMCA Camp in the state of Michigan, opened in 1995. Our facilities were designed with today’s children in mind. We tie together the spirit of camps of the past, with the innovations of today to make Sherman Lake one of the best summer camps in Michigan, and we believe, the country. Through discovery of the great outdoors, skill development and guidance in the importance of building healthy relationships, campers leave with a renewed sense of achievement, belonging, confidence and courage to try new things.
