Our Mission
The Mission of the YMCA is ‘To put Christian principles into practice through programs that build a healthy Spirit, Mind and Body for all.’ At Camp Wakonda we also strive ‘To provide campers, of all ages, the best experience of their year, in an outdoor setting.’
We are for all.
At the Y, we welcome everyone whose behavior adheres to our core values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility. We advance our cause by building a stronger and more equitable community where everyone has the opportunity to learn, grow, thrive and reach their full potential with dignity. The Y is a force for building bridges among all people-regardless of ability, age, birthplace, cultural background, ethnicity, faith, gender, gender identity, ideology, income, race, or sexual orientation. The Y is for all.
