Overview

Welcome to Camp Algonquin! You will love being a part of a small camp community where everyone knows your name. Camp Algonquin incorporates the YMCA core values of caring, honesty, respect, responsibility, and inclusion as a part of each day and activity. In today’s challenging world we feel it is important that campers learn to place other’s needs ahead of their own priorities. The learning experiences at Camp Algonquin will help build self-confidence, teach new skills, and enhance relationships with fellow campers and counselors.

Camp Algonquin has over 75 years of tradition since its founding in 1946. Campers from early years now send their children and grandchildren to camp so they may develop the same values and hold on to the wonderful memories Camp Algonquin instills in each camper. Our camp structure is designed to provide many options when choosing the right experience for you and your camper.
