YMCA Camp Lakewood, a branch of the YMCA of Greater St. Louis is a co-ed summer residential camp for ages 6-17, located 75 miles south of St. Louis between Potosi and Steelville, MO. Set amidst 5,000 beautiful woodland acres with a private 360-acre lake, Camp Lakewood is a true escape. Your child will forget all about television, video games, and mp3 players while discovering the ultimate childhood experience, all within a safe and trusted environment. Programs at Camp Lakewood are based on the YMCA's four core values: Caring, Honesty, Respect, and Responsibility. We believe in making your child stronger in spirit, mind and body!

At Camp Lakewood, your child can attend our Traditional Summer Camp Program, participate in the Ranger Program, work on leadership skills in our Leadership Development Program, or focus on a special elective of our regular camp program, such as Horsemanship or the First Tee® Golf Elective. Children ages six to eight can experience a taste of the summer camp program through Mini-Camp. We welcome children of all nationalities and denominations and pride ourselves on the cultural diversity of our campers and counselors.

We offer both one and two-week sessions. During a one-week session each child has four clinic choices (activities, i.e. archery). A two-week session presents each child with eight different clinic choices, offering either more choices, or greater depth of instruction. Two-week campers also receive special weekend programming, the opportunity to deepen friendships newly made, and the opportunity to develop greater personal growth.
