YMCA Camp Tippecanoe has been helping kids learn and grow since 1958. We create a culture of excellence with our staff, who are trained to think of the camper’s safety and happiness first. Tippecanoe is a traditional residential camp for boys and girls ages 7-17. Adventure Camp, teaches traditional camp skills through such paths as Art, Storytelling, Watercrafts, and Outdoor Wilderness Living Skills. Horse Camps offer progressive programming for beginners, at Lazy-T Ranch where campers have their own horse for a week and Bridles and Back Packs where campers pack out by horseback. Teen campers include Rangers for 13 and 14 year olds, Inawendewin for older teens, Arts & Adventure Trip, Packs & Paddles Trip and Leadership Camps. All of our programs are founded on the Character Counts six pillars of character .
