YMCA Camp Oakes is an overnight camp that provides the experience of a lifetime for thousands of youth and adults. Organizations such as scouts, schools, sports teams, youth organizations, and corporate retreats participate in a variety of activities at our year-round camp and conference center. 

The Camp Oakes Experience

YMCA Camp Oakes makes it a priority to make sure that no camper ever feels left out. All activities are led with respect for all individual beliefs and faiths in mind. Participation is open to everyone without regard to sex, age, race, religion, handicap or national origin.

At the heart of everything we do are the YMCA's four core values: Respect, Responsibility, Honesty, and Caring. These values shape our community, guide our programs, and create an environment where everyone feels welcomed, valued, and encouraged to grow. Through shared experiences and teamwork, campers develop character, strengthen relationships, and gain skills that extend far beyond their time at camp.

No matter the season, Camp Oakes offers a space where people can explore the outdoors, embrace new experiences, and discover the confidence to take on life's next adventure. We believe that time spent in nature has the power to transform lives and that everyone deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and belong.
