YMCA Camp Tecumseh, YMCA summer camp in Brookston, Indiana, United States
Camp Tecumseh sits on 660 acres along the Tippecanoe River and offers activities in two distinct village areas for children ages 8 through 15. The facility provides specialized programs tailored to different age groups throughout the summer.
Carroll County residents purchased land in 1924 to establish an outdoor education site for young people along the river. A second village area was added nearly 80 years later to expand capacity.
The camp operates around the I'm Third principle, weaving spiritual reflection into daily gatherings and cabin activities for young visitors. This approach shapes how campers interact with one another and their surroundings throughout their stay.
The camp runs nine one-week summer sessions with flexible arrangements to suit different family situations. Visitors should prepare for a mix of outdoor activities and group living during their stay.
The camp welcomes around 36,000 visitors annually, making it one of the region's largest summer camp operations. This volume allows it to offer an unusually wide range of specialized programs and activities.
