When school is out, the Y is in! We offer Schools Out Camp on days when school may not be in session, such as on school holidays and over spring break. Schools Out Camp at the Y is much like Summer Day Camp, with campers having fun in arts & crafts, group games, sports, and much more.
Experience the YMCA Camp Lakewood Difference
The Y's overnight summer camp in Potosi, MO is an experience like no other. YMCA Camp Lakewood brings kids ages 6-17 from all walks of life together to try new things without judgment. With a sprawling 5,000-acre campus and a private 360-acre lake, Camp Lakewood becomes a summer sanctuary accommodating various interests, ranging from paddle boarding to horseback riding to campfires and more.
See for yourself how one summer at Camp Lakewood will leave you with memories and friends that last a lifetime.
