YMCA Camp Tecumseh

Resident summer Camp is a perfect program to accomplish the mission elements of the organization. More than 4,000 camper weeks of summer Camp are provided each summer. Fee assistance is provided from contributions so children from lower income families can take part. In addition, volunteer mentors were recruited to help ensure that these children would have transportation to and from Camp, have the clothing and gear needed, and have assistance in filling out all of the required forms.

Outdoor education programs for elementary and middle school students annually brings the Camp mission to thousands of students who would not otherwise have the opportunity for a Ymca Camp Tecumseh experience. Designed to extend the traditional classroom studies with enrichment activities in the out-of-doors, students experience the Camp mission first hand. The program fee is subsidized so no student has to pay the full cost of the experience. Additionally, contributions help provide further fee assistance as needed.

Retreats and conference programs help fulfull the mission of Ymca Camp Tecumseh by providing outstanding program opportunities for church groups, not-for-profit youth serving agencies, and special needs children. Included would be Hoosier burn Camp, kidney Camp, royal family kids Camp for foster children, 4-h Camp for rural youth, and many Ymca retreats for parent child members. Fee assistance is available from donations for those that cannot pay the full fee.
