Day Camp Ihduhapilaunch

Founded in 1929, Camp Ihduhapi provides enriching overnight, day camp, and retreat experiences. Situated on 165 acres of vibrant maple forest along the shores of Lake Independence, its close proximity to the Twin Cities makes Ihduhapi the perfect place for youth and adults to learn new skills, build confidence, and create lifelong memories.

And just like all YMCA of the North adventure centers, we strive to build upon the Y's core values as part of our Camp Culture and Community Commitment.

All summer overnight camp experiences include 'traditional' activities like archery, swimming, paddling, outdoor education, climbing/challenge, arts and crafts, fishing, and much more. In addition, our location offers a unique variety of 'specialty' activities (listed below) for participants to spend more time on, including more Traditional camp programming.
