YMCA Camp Y-Koda is a branch of the Sheboygan County YMCA’s. We have a passion for the outdoors, and believe strongly in the importance of outdoor experiences for youth, families, and adults alike as an integral component of a healthy and wholesome lifestyle. We are a proud piece of our community and we seek to make our participants stronger by providing valuable outdoor experiences to them through camps, educational programs, festival, events and other forms of outreach.
We are an 80-acre property that is open year-round, rain shine and snow. We primarily are known for our Y-Koda Nature School and Nature Based Child Care at Maywood Park; Facility Rentals; Summer Camp Program, which is a Licensed day camp with the WI Department of Children & Families and held for 11-12 weeks throughout the course of the summer; and our Environmental Education Field Trips that we conduct on-site and at other local areas around the county. Areas that we serve and do outreach programs are available at: Sheboygan Broughton Marsh, Kiel Marsh, Maywood Environmental Park, Kohler Andrae and more. Additionally we offer off-season camp experiences for youth such as: Winter & Spring Break Camps, overnights, No School Days, Forest Fridays and more. In the Fall, we partner with Christopher Farm and Gardens of Sheboygan and have a family community event “Scarecrow Festival” and our Annual Fundraising Banquet in the Winter.
In addition to our great programs, our property features a beautiful stretch of the Sheboygan River for canoeing, kayaking, tubing, and nature studies. The property has a ropes course facility with a zip-line, climbing wall and more teambuilding elements. Our small swimming pool and lake offers opportunities for aquatic fun and watercraft recreation. We have three ranged sport facilities: Archery, Sling Shots & a Rifle Range.
