Environmental Education

Camp St. Croix is situated on high bluffs overlooking the St. Croix River, a national scenic riverway, and is surrounded by a wide variety of habitats. Located just south of I-94 in Hudson, Wisconsin, Camp St. Croix is only 25 minutes from downtown St. Paul. Because of our convenient location to the Twin Cities Metro area, transportation time and costs are reasonable.

The St. Croix Staff

The Camp St. Croix staff is dedicated to making your visit a successful one. Our low staff-to-student ratio contributes to the "family feel" of our program. Each of the St. Croix Environmental Instructors holds a bachelor’s degree and has experience leading youth in the outdoors. For the safety of your students, all Instructors are certified in CPR and First Aid. Every Environmental Education instructor is highly qualified to effectively teach each of our outdoor education class choices.

Program Accessibility

Within available resources and to the extent reasonable, the YMCA of Greater St. Paul intends to provide quality program experiences for persons with disabilities, impairments, and other special needs. With respect to any program for which a disability may affect an applicant’s participation, the YMCA asks all applicants to inform it of any disabilities or impairments that may have a bearing on their program involvement. This information is required for the YMCA to determine its ability to appropriately accommodate each individual. Upon request, a confidential consultation with a YMCA Director will be arranged.

Our students loved the experience. We heard lots of 'I wish school was like camp all the time!' from the kids.
