Honoring the Past, Building the Future Give Here

Every summer at YMCA Camp Eberhart, campers create a lifetime of memories unique to the individual but closely tied to the generation of campers that came before them. We’re proud of our 110 years of rich history and strong traditions based on our core values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility. As we look to the future, let’s build on that foundation and provide generations of future campers with the same life-changing YMCA Camp Eberhart experience.

Through the Honoring the Past, Building the Future Campaign, YMCA Camp Eberhart will be poised to continue inspiring and transforming campers for generations to come. We will grow our camper capacity, increase the quality of their camp experience, and strengthen the character-building opportunities each child experiences at camp.

Powder Room Bathhouse

Day Camp Pavilion

Our pavilion was constructed to provide a dedicated space for Day Camp. Our Day Campers will be so excited to use it this summer. Thank you to John and Kathy Postle for their generous donation to make this project happen.

Obenchain Lodge/Postle Hall

Obenchain Lodge/Postle Hall is not only the home to our music and drama programs but also provides indoor programming space for our day camp program during inclement weather. Our resident camp program utilizes this space for evening programs, special events, and weekend programming. School and weekend groups utilize this space for meetings, team-building activities, and group gatherings.

Greenleaf Treehouse Village

The Greenleaf Tree House Village is the home for our leadership programs: Leadership Core and Staff-in-Training. This space was designed to provide these campers with a unique camping experience that connects them with each other and with nature. Located directly off the lake and slightly removed from the main camp, Leadership campers are able to gain further independence and develop stronger bonds with their peers that will be significant as they transition from camper to counselor.
