  YMCA Camp Lake Helena is an absolute treasure! From the moment we arrived, it was clear this place is all about community, growth, and fun in a beautiful natural setting. The lakefront is stunning, the facilities are well-kept, and the staff is truly exceptional—caring, enthusiastic, and deeply committed to making every camper feel welcome and supported. Whether it’s kayaking, hiking, arts & crafts, or campfire songs, the activities are thoughtfully planned and tons of fun. The camp strikes the perfect balance between structured programming and free time for kids to explore, build friendships, and gain confidence. It’s more than just a summer camp—it’s a place where kids grow, laugh, and create lifelong memories. Our child came home with stories, new skills, and a big smile on their face. We’re already planning to return next year!

  The Y provides valuable opportunities to children building self confidence, social skills and emotional regulation and decompression!

  This is a warning to all parents considering YMCA Camp Lake Helena. There is a male staff member with a beard who has undertaken some disgusting actions with regards to my 8 year old son. I have filed a written complaint and cancelled all camps and YMCA membership for our family as we will never feel safe at a YMCA facility again. I intend to discover the identity of the male and to pursue all financial and legal remedies for this situation.
