Our camp counselors are assigned and lead a different group of children (between ages 4-16) each week and follow a pre-planned weekly schedule. We have many activities at Camp Y-Koda including, but not limited to: Archery, BB Guns, Sling Shots, a High Ropes Course, lake with kayaks & canoes, a small swimming pool, arts & crafts center, gaga ball and so much more. Our 80-acre property is a branch of the Sheboygan County YMCA. Our summer program is 95% outdoors rain, shine or snow! For more specific information please read below.
