About YMCA Camp
YMCA Camp offers kids an opportunity to have fun and learn new skills. Camp is the place where campers feel good about themselves and others through counselor-guided activities. Camping has been a long-established YMCA program designed to get kids outside and active, where they can learn while having fun.
Camp Nissokone
YMCA Camp Nissokone is located on 170 acres of spectacular lakefront in Oscoda, Michigan. Campers stay in comfortable, newly renovated cabins with modern bathrooms. The camp has a wide variety of age appropriate activities and programs to suit any camper’s interest, as we take full advantage of the lake and 1,000 acres of national forest that surround our camp. Nissokone is perfect for getting out in nature to adventure and play.
Mornings are spent in camper-selected skill clinics including climbing, sailing, canoeing, sports, drama, creative arts, and many more. The afternoons are spent participating in cabin activities such as horseback riding, high ropes, low ropes and free swim. Campers will also enjoy climbing at Boulder Junction, our climbing wall and bouldering grotto.
A variety of camp options are available at Nissokone, including Residence Camp, Specialty Adventure Camps, Day Camp, Family Camp and excellent student Leadership in Training programs.
