At YMCA Camp Hanes we love our summer campers, conferees, and Outdoor Education students, chaperones and teachers. We are committed to ensuring every experience results in our ABCs of Camp Hanes being accomplished in our participants by increasing one’s sense of Accomplishment, sense of Belonging and learning the Character traits of respect, responsibility, honesty, faith and caring in a Christian camp environment. In  June of 1927, Harry Long brought a small group of young boys fromWinston-Salem to the all new John W. Hanes Memorial YMCA camp to experience the great outdoors! Over eighty years later more than over 15,000 year round participants come to YMCA Camp Hanes to experience the great outdoors, make lifelong friends and create lasting memories at the “400 Acre Memory Maker” YMCA Camp Hanes.
