VISIT MANITOU BEACH

novice campers. Day camp consists of visits to the nature center and waterfront, sports, archery, crafts, and more. 2021 Day Camp Sessions include Mad Scientist, Hollywood Week, Down on the Farm, and Water Fun geared toward keeping campers engaged all week long.

While summer camp is a huge highlight at Camp Storer, camping doesn’t end with summer. Specialty weekend camps include Leader Corps — a monthly weekend teen leadership program, Girl Scout Weekends, Women’s Adventure Wellness Weekend — giving women over 18 a chance to renew their spirit, nurture their mind, and challenge their body, Friends & Family Weekend, Camp CatchA-Rainbow Family Camp — a fall family camp for family members of campers and volunteers, and Holiday Camp in the winter.

Storer Camps offers the opportunity to camp for groups looking for a bonding experience or simply a quiet weekend in the woods. The natural setting provides plenty of opportunities for activities that promote team building, personal development, discovery, or just plain fun. The list of daytime activities ranges from high-energy adventures to thought-provoking educational experiences.

Accommodations

Lodging for guests at YMCA Storer

Camps comes in three different forms, each serving the camper in different ways. Rustic cabins allow for classic camping feel with the benefits of modern camping such as heat and electricity. Four modern lodges offer heat, air conditioning, electricity, showers, bathrooms, and shared space with a fireplace. Each lodge has four units that each sleep 14 people. And finally, several rooms of premium housing are available, catering to the camper in a hotel-style manner complete with linens and towels.

Breakout spaces accommodate groups that require ample space to give presentations, play games, or gather. Storer Camps provides equipment like chairs, tables, and projectors as needed.

Malachi Dining Hall is an ample indoor space catering to events such as youth group game nights, show choirs, or professional conferences. The hall includes a built-in sound system with wireless mics, microphone hook-ups, musical instruments, and more.

Commitment to the Camping Experience

YMCA Storer Camps truly embraces youth development through those activities fundamental to success later in life. Even amidst all the learning, camp is chock full of fun.

From traditional camping activities to science-oriented exploration, camp is a memorable and rewarding experience. Spencer says, “There is something very special about this place, and we are looking forward to serving more campers, schools, families, and groups to experience the magic of camp.” n
