Des Moines Y Camp

About

The official Facebook page of the Y Camp of Greater Des Moines, located in Boone, IA.

Description

For over 90 years Y Camp has been creating life-long memories. Days are filled with activities like riding horses, creating arts and crafts, climbing up a 35' climbing wall, playing sports and games, flying down a 35' tall water slide, and so much more. Evenings consist of nationally recognized programs like the Trail of Five Fires, Honor Point, Embers, and Inspiration Point. All programs are backed by our Character Value Guarantee which states If your camper does not have a better understanding of the character values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility from their camp experience, we will refund their camp fee.
