About us (all volunteer led)
Friends of Lake Wenatchee Y Camp is a newly formed organization (nonprofit status pending with the IRS) dedicated to preserving the legacy and continuing the mission of Lake Wenatchee Y Camp. The organization represents nearly a century of individuals of all ages (including outdoor education, rental groups, family camps, and work party participants), Y staff, volunteers, board and committee members, and community members (from the lake and surrounding areas) whose lives were transformed by their experiences with Lake Wenatchee YMCA Camp of Washington State.
Our Journey and trigger:
In January of 2025, Wenatchee Valley YMCA Board of Directors voted to put the Y Camp up for sale. Alumni and Friends began to form to create two pathways (1) formation of a 501c(3) nonprofit (status pending) and to launch a Save Our Camp Campaign. The Board of Directors will be announced mid August.
