Alumni

Y Camp is always open to those who gave their time, talent and treasures to serve campers and families over the decades. Being a Y Camp Leader or a member of the staff team is a special honor and something we do not take lightly. It’s a bond that holds the alumni of the Des Moines Y Camp together. It stretches across state lines, time zones and generations.

Y Camp Volunteer Work Day

TBD

If you’re looking for a great opportunity to jump in, Y Camp hosts an annual Volunteer Work Day in May to help gear up for summer camp. Camp is always in need of volunteers to help provide a wonderful camper and customer experience. The opportunities are endless to get involved, whether that be through facility maintenance, housekeeping, construction, administration, marketing, assisting with camp programing or in your own way. All efforts and gifts are appreciated!
