Camp Overview

You will love being part of a small camp community where everyone knows your name. Camp Algonquin incorporates the YMCA core values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility as part of each day and activity. In todays' 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 staff.

Camp Algonquin sits on Algonquin Lake just 10 minutes from Hastings, Michigan. We are located just on hour from Lake Michigan and 3 hours from Chicago, Illinois.
