YMCA Camp Eberhart enjoys a rich and lively history full of tradition and folklore. Harris Eberhart's dream has grown into one of the most progressive and enriching environmental education centers in the nation.
It's not surprising. While always holding some traditions dear, YMCA Camp Eberhart has consistently been a leader in the industry and remains so to this day. The first YMCA camp in the country to offer a summer camping program for young women, YMCA Camp Eberhart went fully co-educational in the 1970's. Today, the camp serves both children and adults year-round.
Though times and ways have changed, the goal is the same as it was at the turn of the century...to provide amazing opportunities to learn and grow and we are proud that many thousands of children have passed through our gates to enjoy the experience of a lifetime.
