Celebrate 125 Years of YMCA Camping
Friends of Minikani Joins the World's Largest Campfire
Wednesday, July 14, 2010
6:00pm - Camp Tours
7:00pm - Campfire
Join us as we commemorate this amazing anniversary that has helped to shape so many young lives and future leaders in our community!
Camping officially began at the YMCA in 1885, when a volunteer named Sumner Dudley helped start the first continuously-used camp. His goal was to help build character in seven teenagers during a week-long camping trip in Orange Lake, N.Y.
What began 125 years ago as one small group of
friends from the YMCA who wanted to experience
nature has blossomed into a summer phenomenon
that has changed the lives of millions of youth
around the world. This year, hundreds of the nation’s YMCAs will commemorate the 125th
anniversary of camping and the Friends of Minikani
will be joining them!
