The mission of YMCA Camp Northern Lights is to nurture our need for belonging and connection, to each other and to the outdoors.
Spending time together in nature is one of the best ways for families to grow together. YMCA Camp Northern Lights, a north woods family camp and getaway destination, is the YMCA’s newest family camp in Northern Minnesota. On the edge of the Superior National Forest, families experience a beautiful wilderness setting that promotes relaxation, adventure and community. Camp is situated on Bear Island Lake near the Boundary Waters Canoe Area and offers year-round program and getaway opportunities.
