Camp Kekoka Details
Operating a fun, educational and engaging program
while fostering the spiritual, physical and
emotional well-being of our campers.
 The Staff and Board of Managers of YMCA Camp Kekoka are very excited to offer another summer of fun and sun. With five incredible, one week sessions of camp there is no reason to miss out on the fun. Camp is available for youth ages 9-15. Cost for camp is $450 per session. As always, in any YMCA program, nobody misses out because of the inability to pay. We offer financial assistance.
While at Camp Kekoka campers enjoy living in rustic cabins with 10 other campers grouped by age. Each cabin has highly trained adult counselors from all over the globe. During the daylight hours campers enjoy a well rounded camp experience which includes traditional activities like swimming, arts and crafts, and archery, as well as some unique activities like crabbing, fishing, tubing, kayaking, windsurfing and sailing.
Camp Kekoka prides itself on Character Development and takes time every day to work with campers on the YMCA Character Values: Caring, Honesty, Respect and Responsibility. Our goal is to return your camper tired and with knowledge of these four character values.
NEW THIS YEAR - Rite of Passage Camp - This camp is for 8 year olds who want to test-out resident camp. For 3 days and 2 nights campers experience the same activities offered during regular resident camp. The only difference is the amount of time they are away from home.
