Located at Dakota County’s Spring Lake Park Reserve, Day Camp Spring Lake provides exciting and structured activities in a beautiful park setting with spectacular views of the Mississippi River. At Spring Lake participants 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, responsibility, and equity.
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.
