Camp Tippecanoe Programs
YMCA Camp Tippecanoe puts Christian principles into practice through programs that build a healthy spirit, mind, and body for all.
We plan our programs with our campers at the forefront of our minds. There is something for everyone! The rookie camper, the horse enthusiast, the adventure chaser, the aspiring artist, the water lover, the outdoor lover. Whatever camp program you choose, campers will leave at the end of the week with new friends, new memories, and new adventures!
