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 be offering the fourth 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 $350 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. We believe so much in this goal that we are willing to offer a money back guarantee if your camper does not have a basic understanding of these four values!
