Your child will forget all about television, video games, and mp3 players while discovering the ultimate childhood experience, all within a safe and trusted environment.
Programs at Camp Lakewood are based on the YMCA's four core values: Caring, Honesty, Respect, and Responsibility. We believe in making your camper stronger in spirit, mind and body! At Camp Lakewood, your camper can attend our Traditional Summer Camp Program, participate in the Ranger Program, work on leadership skills in our Leaders In Training Program (LIT), or focus on a special elective of our regular camp program like Horsemanship.
Campers ages six to eight can experience a taste of the summer camp program through Mini-Camp. We also have Tween Camp for campers ages 9-10 or Pre-Teen Camp for ages 11-12.
We welcome children of all nationalities and denominations and pride ourselves on the cultural diversity of our campers and counselors.
*Camp New Hope
Residential coed summer camp for children with a parent in prisonNew Hope is an Oklahoma-based prison ministry for children who have a parent in prison. These children are seven times more likely to end up in prison themselves. Our mission is to empower these children and their families to create a healthy future in the hopes of ending the generational cycle of incarceration.
This camp offers creative education and life skills as children enjoy boating, fishing, swimming, arts and crafts, sports and chapel. Caregivers receive a much needed break. The camp is limited to 40 children so counselors can coach and mentor individual campers.
