YMCA Camp Wapsie Overnight Summer Camps are for ages 6-17. We offer nine – one-week sessions, each with a different theme. The daily program consists of 20+ activities, and the flexible schedule allows campers to explore new adventures or develop skills in an already familiar area. Our mature and caring staff provides a safe and fun environment where children can challenge themselves while learning new skills in an outdoor environment.

Through Wapsie’s coed program, campers build lifelong friendships and memories while growing in confidence and independence and building personal skills. Programs built around fun and character development are designed to give different age groups the optimum experience and tie into their interests and abilities.

Camp Wapsie has something for everyone, from adventurous canoeing on Oxbow Lake to laid-back stargazing, lying in a hammock at Wapsie’s Hammock Village. The athlete, the explorer, the leader, the artist, and everyone in between can find their adventure at Camp Wapsie. With a 6-to-1 camper-to-counselor ratio, we provide exceptional supervision.
Our Camp experience is rich in tradition and often referred to as the Camp Wapsie “Magic.” We instill the core values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility into all that we do. Campers will gain independence, self-confidence, lifelong friendships, positive memories, and a home they can come back to.
