Located in Holly, Michigan, on Fish Lake, Camp Ohiyesa is a YMCA-endorsed summer camp for kids. Camp Ohiyesa is situated in southeast Michigan, not far from the hustle and bustle of Detroit. It's a classic experience for children to experience the natural world with activities like campfires, sports, archery, boating, arts and crafts, and more. There are over 300 acres of forest and lakes to enjoy.

What makes Camp Ohiyesa stand out is the clinic-based structure of activities. Every child can choose things to do based on their preferences, and the clinics allow a deep dive into their selected areas of interest. This provides a familiar classroom learning experience and a well-organized daily structure.

With programs in the summer months, Camp Ohiyesa features seven week-long summer sessions. Each session has a unique theme, with choices like Disney, Pokémon, and Jurassic Park. YMCA Camp Ohiyesa also offers specialty camps in horseback riding and leaders in training.
