Overnight Camp Lakewood at Trout Lodge (YMCA of the Ozarks)
YMCA Camp Lakewood is where kids come in the summer time to have fun, learn new skills, make new friends, and to simply be a kid. Your camper will forget all about television, video games, and smartphones while discovering the ultimate childhood experience, all within the safe and trusted environment of the Y.
Camp Lakewood provides a well-rounded experience for campers and gets them outdoors to connect with nature for children ages 6-17. With a 360-acre lake, over 5,000 acres of forest-covered hills, caves, creeks and more, there are many opportunities for natural exploration and experiential learning. Whether it’s campfires, swimming, archery, climbing tower, zip line, sports, canoeing, cookouts, fishing, kayaking or a multitude of camp games, every camper delights in waking up with a renewed sense of excitement as to what new activities each day at camp will bring. Camp Lakewood offers 4-day and one-week camp programs, as well as traditional, wilderness and equestrian camp.
Registration is open. Go to https://gwrymca.org/camps/ymca-camp-lakewood
An inclusive camp experience
At the YMCA, our goal is to provide an inclusive environment where all members and participants are equally part of our Y community. We make it a priority to provide facilities, programs and services to all. More information is available by calling our Inclusion Services department at 314-678-0162.
Financial Assistance
The YMCA feels strongly that anyone who wants to be a part of the Y has the opportunity, regardless of his or her ability to pay. Therefore, we offer financial assistance to those individuals who qualify. Funds for this assistance come from the generous support of those who give to our Annual Campaign.
