For over 50 years, Camp Christmas Tree has provided a wonderful place for campers to experience outdoor adventures and fun. Hope to see you this summer!
We provide a week packed full of exciting and structured activities for the new and returning camper. Located on beautiful Dutch Lake near Mound, campers age 4-14 participate in small, age-appropriate groups as they build self-esteem, learn new skills, and practice the YMCA’s core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.
