ABOUT CAMP:

YMCA Camp Tippecanoe is a branch within the YMCA of Central Stark County with an operating budget of $500,000 and has been providing opportunities for kids to learn and grow since 1958. Located on 600 acres nestled in Harrison County, YMCA Camp Tippecanoe provides the perfect atmosphere for the traditional resident camp for boys and girls ages 6-18. Campers enjoy the waterfront on Clendening Lake, miles of hiking trails, and plenty of rolling hills, along with an equestrian program, zipline structure, archery, and bb gun range, etc. YMCA Camp Tippecanoe is much more than a summer activity camp for kids; we are a place for values, learning, skill building, personal growth, fun, and adventure. We take pride in creating a culture of excellence with our staff, who are trained to think of the camper's safety and happiness first.
