YMCA Camp Ohiyesa

Overview

YMCA Camp Ohiyesa is located on the shores of Fish Lake in Holly, Michigan. Now in our 107th year, we offer day and overnight camp for children starting at ages 5 from Southeast Michigan and beyond.

Our caring, responsible staff is trained in a variety of areas including child development, activity leadership, behavior management, sports, and swim instruction. In addition to the exciting activities and new friendships, lunch and an afternoon snack are included daily. In the mornings campers travel with their counselors and age group to a variety of activities that change each day. Each group’s schedule is designed for their age. In the afternoon, we offer specialty options when campers can choose which activity they’d like to try.

Day campers at Ohiyesa are separated by grade into one of four groups; Jolee (ages 7 and under), Casper (ages 8-9), Alastair (ages 10-11) & Royale (ages 12+). The daily schedule that your camper follows will be determined by the group they are placed in, with age-appropriate schedules being set throughout. Younger campers (Jolee & Casper) will follow a set schedule taking them through all of the activities on offer at a set time, while Alastair & Royale campers are offered more choice on the activities they do each day, while always having the option to take in everything during their week.
