Dear Parents,

With school back in session, summer vacation may seem a long way off. Plans are already underway to ensure that summer 2009 is an unforgettable experience for campers that attend Phantom Lake YMCA Camp. This summer will be our 114th summer providing traditional camping experiences to children and young adults. We offer excellent opportunities for campers to gain a well-rounded, safe camping experience and have a memorable time. Choose from our Resident Camp or Day Camp programs.

Our YMCA heritage and the Bible verse Luke 2:52 guide our mission, which is for each child to grow in wisdom, in stature and to increase in their spiritual and social development. We also focus on the YMCA's core values of honesty, caring, respect, and responsibility. This focus allows us to create a noncompetitive setting where young people have the opportunity to learn new skills and try new activities that are led by experienced counselors. It also allows us to provide an opportunity for campers to make life-long friendships, learn to respect themselves and others, discover nature, and become leaders.

Campers also enjoy the unique setting of our 72 acres nestled in the Kettle Moraine area on beautiful Phantom Lake. Children can sample a variety of water activities, explore nature or participate in specialty activities such as soccer, golf, or skateboarding. Thank you for considering Phantom Lake YMCA Camp. If you have any questions, please feel free to call us at (262)363-4386. One of our dedicated staff members will help you determine if Phantom Lake YMCA Camp is the right camp for you!

In Phantom Spirit,

Jeff Spang, CEO

"Great staff knows how to interact with the campers. My camper totally changed her allegiance from her first camp (held elsewhere in Wisconsin which she attended for 4 years!) to Phantom Lake...must be doing things right!" -PLYC Parent
