YMCA Camp Olson - Traditional Discovery Camp 9-15 years of Age

Discovery Camp offers Camp Olson's traditional camping at it's finest. Campers live, learn, and discover the "Spirit of the Northwoods" through new friendships, independence, and exploration of the outdoors. Campers are assigned a cabin at the beginning of the session and will live with two counselors and their fellow campers their age. Mornings are spent with their cabin group and are structured to include all of the fine activities Camp Olson has to offer. During the afternoon, campers are given the freedom to choose their own activity. Discovery Campers will also camp out 1 night with their cabin around our beautiful Shurds Lakes. One-week sessions are available for campers ages 9-15 and two-week sessions are available for ages 11-15.
