Mission Statement
YMCA Camp Ihduhapi fosters physical, mental and spiritual growth by providing a fun-filled, challenging and supportive environment in which to learn about nature, others and oneself.
Programs Offered
It's the perfect camp for the beginning camper to experience the fun and excitement of overnight camp while offering the returning campers their favorite activities, renewed friendships, and a place they can call their own.
Character Counts
At Camp Ihduhapi, we nurture character development in our campers through the values of Caring, Honesty, Respect, and Responsibility. Our well-trained staff lead quality programs that are safe, fun and enriching. Campers will:
- Develop integrity, self-reliance and leadership skills.
- Build life-long friendships.
- Enrich their spirit, mind, and body through challenging and fun activities.
- Gain an appreciation for the natural environment.
- Experience a sense of community by living with campers in small age-appropriate, single-gender groups with trained staff.
Camp Culture
Camp Ihduhapi has small, single-gender cabin groups of 8-10 campers and 2 cabin staff, which provides individual attention and positive, small group dynamics. Program professionals assist in areas like waterfront, arts and crafts, health services, administration and much more. Our kitchen staff prides themselves on creating a well-balanced and good-tasting menu. A salad bar is provided at both lunch and dinner. Fresh fruit is offered each day. Campers eat family style as a cabin group.
Conference and Retreat Center
Camp Ihduhapi is an exceptional site for conferences, retreats and meetings. Set on the edge of Lake Independence, the Conference and Retreat Center offers the facilities and atmosphere to make work or family gatherings memorable.
Many combine a stay at Ihduhapi with a custom team building program at the Adventure Learning Center. A program that uses low rope initiatives and climbing challenges to test familiar methods of communication, respect, cooperation, trust and problem solving.
Sleeping Accommodations
Camp Ihduhapi has 14 cozy cabins with 10 bunks in each. In addition, we have two cabins that sleep 12 and the Bunkhouse. The Bunkhouse is one of our newer structures and has three, 12 person cabins, a central meeting space, and restrooms attached in one building. A newer Bathhouse is available for the cabins without restrooms connected to them.
