The Sherman Lake YMCA Outdoor Center’s mission is to strengthen the spirit, mind and body while instilling an appreciation of our natural environment. The SLYOC builds strong kids, strong families and strong communities by putting the universal principles of Honesty, Caring, Respect and Responsibility into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all. We believe that the best way to strengthen a child’s academic achievement is to strengthen their character.
American Camping Association certified the Sherman Lake YMCA Outdoor Center offers summer residential and day camping programs and a character-based outdoor education program called Integrated Education.
