Location: Estensen Farm ~ 10541 Ibson Avenue, Northfield, MN 55057 Program is Monday – Thursday Camp programs help kids grow in a caring, encouraging environment, meet new friends and learn good values. All our programming has an outdoor, nature or environmental emphasis and focus. At YMCA camps, kids have fun and create memories that last a lifetime. Our programs are designed with your child in mind but we also provide many options to make summer planning easier for families. This year, we have expanded our offerings to include children with developmental disabilities. We believe that the healthiest communities support ALL families, and we are committed to providing the support necessary to make our programs more inclusive. Our partnership with Laura Baker Services makes this possible. Please indicate on your registration form if you are interested in accessing these supports.
