Summer Overnight Camp
Our Overnight Camps are divided into three age groups (according to the grade the child is entering). The youngest are entering 3rd and 4th grade. The middle age group are entering 5th and 6th grade. The oldest age group are entering 7th, 8th and 9th grade. By staging our activities and schedules appropriately, each group of campers will have a unique camp experience that is appropriate for their age. In addition to keeping many of the same traditions Camp Algonquin is known for, our camp leadership is dedicated to advancing the mission of the YMCA and modeling the four core values in all of our programming.
Teen Trip Adventure to Sleeping Bear Dunes
Camp Algonquin is offering a 3 day trip for teens entering 8th – 10th grades. After an orientation at camp, campers load up their gear and head to Sleeping Bear Dunes, the D. H. Day Group Campground to tent camp, explore the Dunes and relax along Lake Michigan.
