Visit Fairview Lake YMCA Camps

There's no better way to fall in love with camp than to see it for yourself. Come visit us in person, meet our staff, and picture your child's best summer.

Open Houses

When summer camp is not in session, we open our gates and invite families to come experience Fairview Lake for themselves. Walk the grounds, meet our staff, ask every question you have, and leave knowing whether this is the right place for your child.

In Person

Join us for a guided tour of our beautiful lakefront, cabins, and program areas. We'll have light snacks on hand so you can relax, chat, and take it all in. Our staff will be on hand to talk about programs, safety, and what a summer at Fairview Lake really looks like.

May 17 | 2-4 PM

Can't make the date? Please contact camp to schedule a private tour for you and your family!

Online

Can't make it to camp in person? Our virtual open houses give you a live look at Fairview Lake from the comfort of home. Meet our directors, ask questions in real time, and get a feel for what makes our camp special.

Please check back this fall for our next Online Open Houses

Private Tours

Can't make it to an Open House, or just prefer a more personal experience? We'd love to show you around. Private tours are available by appointment year round and give you dedicated time with our staff to ask questions, explore the facilities, and get a real feel for life at Fairview Lake.

Please note that during July and August our staff are fully focused on our campers, so summer tour availability may be limited. We'll always do our best to find a time that works for your family.

To schedule your visit, fill out the form below and we'll be in touch.

Y For All

Financial Assistance

The YMCA provides financial assistance to those who may require help covering the costs of camp. Our Y for All Fund plays a crucial role in keeping the Y accessible for children, adults, and families who need support. By offering financial assistance, the Y ensures that all individuals and families can participate in Y programs and services, regardless of their financial circumstances.

Make Camp Possible

You can help make the magic of camp possible for every child by supporting our Annual Support Campaign. Your donation provides financial assistance to families in need, ensuring that every camper has the chance to learn, grow, and thrive at Fairview Lake YMCA Camps. Together, we can make sure no one is turned away due to the inability to pay—because camp is for everyone.
