CAMP TYCONY
Camp Tycony is all about discovery and there’s no better place than outdoors on 54 acres of beautiful, wooded land along the Wildcat. Kids have the opportunity to have fun exploring nature, finding new talents, trying new activities, gaining independence, and making lasting friendships & memories. Our summer day camp program serves children ages 5-14 (must have completed kindergarten). Camp Tycony has been a tradition for more than 65 years, and this year’s program promises to be even better. Registration for our 2025 Summer Camp opens April 1st!

FOREVER NURTURING
YMCA’s Mission & Vision
At the Y, strengthening community is our cause. Every day, we work side-by-side with our neighbors to make sure that everyone, regardless of age, income or background, has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive. It is our mission to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all. Our focus has always been to provide a safe environment for boys and girls to learn and excel in camp activities and skills.

Our CAMPS
Facilities and Activities
Camp Tycony sits on a 52-acre outdoor property in Kokomo! At Y day camp, kids can develop skills, self-confidence, new friendships and a sense of belonging – all while having tons of fun. Summer at the Y allows kids the space to grow stronger and more confident in a safe, nurturing environment.
Lodge
The lodge at Camp Tycony was build in 1970 and renovated in 2019. It is a beautiful building that offers a place for campers to eat lunch and participate in activities during times when children are out of school. It is also available to rent for birthday parties, weddings, reunions, and more.
Pond
The Pond at Camp Tycony was dug in 1971. Today it is home to frogs, turtles, and fish. Campers are taught to boat with our row boats and canoes. They also learn to fish.
Tube Slide
One of the most popular things at camp is our slide that will go from the upper level of camp to the lower level. 60 feet of fast paced fun. We can’t wait to try it out!
Air Soft
Under supervision, campers will have the opportunity to try the Air Soft Rifles.
Chapel
We start each morning off as a group with Chapel. During Chapel, our campers will listen to a devotion or character-development story, sing camp songs, and go over any announcements for the day. We will go over the Camper Code of Conduct and expectations on the first day of each week. YMCA Camp Tycony is a Christian camp, so Chapel will contain religious devotions.
NEW: Basketball Court
Major assist by Merrell Bros and PlayPros for helping us score big this summer! Thanks to their incredible support, we’ve got a brand-new basketball court at Camp Tycony. We know our campers can’t wait to hit the court – swishing shots, and building confidence. From layups to laughter, the kids will love every minute on the court and it’s all possible because of partners like you. We’re grateful to have you on our team!

SPONSOR SNACKS FOR OUR CAMPERS!
The afternoon snack refuels and refreshes all of our campers so they can explore, play, and repeat. With our campers being on-site for nearly 10 hours a day, we saw a need to add in a healthy snack to refuel them and build in healthy habits. Your sponsorship also helps us keep our costs down for the families we serve.
