Each group member will plan and lead a section of the trip, including service opportunities at several YMCA day camps and national parks and forests. Based on the Cheyenne River Reservation in South Dakota, the group will take on a variety of service projects. These may include doing physical labor and developing programs for Sioux children. Other service opportunities include working in the Badlands National Park. To apply to one of our programs, please send a completed Admissions Application Form with the registration fee enclosed.
Many programs fill quickly.
YMCA participant carries both privileges and responsibilities. Campers are expected to participate fully in our camping adventure. This includes the activities of service, play, chapel, and living together. Participants must enroll for the full duration of the particular program. Gifts from parents and friends help to keep the tuition reasonable, while maintaining high quality programs and staff.
