FAQS
Can I request that my child be placed in the same cabin as their friend?
The short answer is: yes! At the YMCA of the North, we want to encourage socialization and the building of new friendships among campers, but we also want all of our campers to feel comfortable during our programs. As long as your child's friend is within two years of their age, they will be allowed to bunk together for our overnight youth summer camps.
You can request for your child to stay in the same cabin as a friend either on the initial registration form or by calling our customer service center. For the sake of strong group dynamics, we limit the number of friends who may bunk together to four per cabin. This way, your children can enjoy a fun experience with their friends at Camp Icaghowan, while also making new friends during their stay.
Do the yurts at Camp Icaghowan have electricity?
Camp Icaghowan has two yurts that campers may stay in for our overnight programs: Wilderness Yurt and Sunset Yurt. The Wilderness Yurt is the one that has working electricity for campers to use. It is also located near shower and restroom facilities on the Island.
The Sunset Yurt does not have electricity, and it also doesn't have running water. This yurt was designed to provide a more rustic experience, hence its secluded location on the Island and its lack of modern amenities. Campers staying at Sunset Yurt can use a nearby outhouse and will be able to shower at the facilities on the Island.
