The Mission of the YMCA is ‘To put Judeo Christian principles into practice through programs that build a healthy Spirit, Mind and Body for all. To provide campers, of all ages, the best experience of their year, in an outdoor setting.

At Camp Wakonda we live the four core values of the YMCA, Caring, Honesty, Respect and Responsibility, every day. Living in a cabin with a group of campers young and old, these values. Our staff of dedicated young Christian men and women are living examples of the Y mission. Campers learn new life skills, develop friendships and grow in self esteem and confidence.  The joy and poise they gain at camp sticks with them long after they return home.
