Adventure Awaits
For more than 100 years, children and families throughout Iowa and the Midwest have flocked to a scenic 400-acre site along the banks of the Des Moines River to take part in the life-changing experience known as Y Camp.
Des Moines Y Camp offers traditional overnight camp programs, summer day camp, family camps, outdoor education programs, leadership and team-building programs and retreats for a variety of groups. We're grateful to our large network of alumni, volunteers and donors who have made Y Camp a home-away-from-home for generations of families.
