Join us to celebrate 75 years of amazing camp experiences!
We proudly opened Camp Speers in 1948 as the first ever racially-integrated American YMCA summer camp, and we stand true to those roots today by offering amazing camping programs to children and families of all backgrounds, religions, and economic standing.
For 75 years, Camp Speers YMCA has been a place where kids can unplug and connect to nature, fun, and new friendships. It’s a place where the Y values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility are woven into everything we do.
How to celebrate with us:
Share your story
Tell us how camp impacted you as we celebrate all the memories created at Camp Speers over the last 75 years! If you’d like to share photos or camp memorabilia with us, please email or mail them to camp!
Donate to help future campers
We hope you’ll join us in honoring the past, celebrating the present, and looking toward the future by supporting our endeavor to raise $75,000 for our 75th Anniversary. This fundraising campaign will allow us to continue making a lasting impact on children’s lives for another 75 years and beyond.
Reunite with us
We are gathering to celebrate the legacy and impact of Camp Speers YMCA from October 6 - 9, 2023. We’ll learn about and celebrate its history; reunite with fellow campers, staff, and friends; connect with the nature that has never stopped changing, yet remains the same; and enjoy our camp community with good food, camp activities, music, a classic Speers auction, and more! We hope you’ll join us!
