Overview of Programs

Summer camp

Summer camp at Camp Y-Noah is camp at its best. At Camp Y-Noah, campers get to experience the beauty of nature surrounded by our supportive staff and newly made friends. Activities at camp are geared towards having a great time while encouraging the YMCA values of caring, honesty, respect, responsibility and faith.

Our goal is for all children to leave camp feeling good about themselves, their accomplishments and the friends they made. Spend one week at camp and you'll leave with friendships and memories that will last a lifetime.

Camp Y-Noah offers day camp and resident camp programs for school-age children and teens, including traditional summer camp, equestrian programs, teen camps including leadership programs, trips for special activities, rustic living, first-timers camp and much, much more. For additional information on our complete summer camp offerings, please contact us.

Family camp

Families are special to us at Camp Y-Noah. That's why several times a year we provide programs just for them. Family camp is an opportunity for families to get away from it all and spend some time participating in planned camp activities or just relaxing at their own pace.

Families stay in their own cabins and meals are provided in the dining hall. Weekend activities include arts and crafts, archery, horseback riding, climbing wall, zip line, Alpine Tower, hay rides, family games, canoeing and other activities as scheduled just for these special weekends. Participate in any or all of the activities, or you can just sit and read a book, play a game of cards or take a hike along the scenic lake trails.

Join us this year for Memorial Day weekend, Labor Day weekend or Halloween weekend. Bring your family, friends or next door neighbors, and get back to spending some quality time with the ones you love at beautiful Camp Y-Noah.

Outdoor environmental education

Bring your school group to Camp Y-Noah where we provide real learning in the real world! Classes will encourage students to really get back to nature as they scoop up water samples to find microscopic critters in the pond, dig for fossils in our archeology dig site, listen for forest creatures and gaze at the stars on a night hike.

Our recreation programs also give students the opportunity to try their hand at canoeing, fishing, archery or horseback riding. We can provide teambuilding classes or put the students through the challenges of our low and high ropes course in an effort to teach team skills.

Our mission is to teach students through hands on experiences and foster their roles as stewards of our environment. Let our staff lead you out of the classroom and into the great outdoors!

Horseback riding

Camp Y-Noah has one of the most impressive horseback riding facilities in the area. Our new indoor riding arena allows us to teach riding throughout the year, regardless of weather. We offer riding lessons, public riding, trail rides, Girl Scout badge programs and hay rides. Whatever your needs, we have the program for you!

Corporate programs

Retreats and conferences

One of the most critical aspects of site selection for an off-site gathering is location, and ours is among the best. Convenient to Akron, Canton, Cleveland, Medina, Kent and surrounding counties, our modern facilities, meeting areas, home cooked meals and the beauty of our 250 acre site combine to make Camp Y-Noah the ideal place for your group outing. Camp Y-Noah: a great retreat just around the corner!

Corporate leadership development

Come to Camp Y-Noah and make your team stronger than ever. We offer teambuilding and leadership conferences for corporate, scout, church, and school groups, as well as athletic teams. Our low ropes challenge course provides an excellent team building experience while our high adventure challenge courses and brand new 50' Alpine Tower—a truly unique teambuilding opportunity in Northeast Ohio—pushes the individual and team to their limits. An assessment of your group's specific needs will be completed and then a customized program will be designed. Please contact us at 330-896-1964 or 877-GOT-CAMP.
