BUILDING CHARACTER AND CONFIDENCE SINCE 1953

Every year, hundreds of people visit Camp Jorn for summer camp, field trips, meetings, and events. We’ve grown a lot since we were established along the shores of Rest Lake over 50 years ago – yet we still adhere to the same core values we’ve had since the beginning.

Our campers say Camp Jorn is the best place in the world. Why? It’s not just about fun and games. It’s about building character, confidence, and connections that last a lifetime.

CONVENIENCE

The Camp Jorn charter bus picks campers up right at the Kenosha YMCA. Camp Jorn provides discounts to Y members and staff, and also fund scholarships for anyone in need so ALL children are invited to participate in the life-changing adventure that Y Resident Camp can provide.

MISSION

Building character, confidence and community through enriching outdoor experiences.
