Welcome to Phantom Lake YMCA Camp!

As the second oldest, continuously running, YMCA Camp in North America, Phantom Lake YMCA Camp (PLYC) has been providing enriching outdoor experiences for youth for over 110 years. Nestled on 72 acres of rolling hills on Phantom Lake in southeastern Wisconsin, children have many activities to choose from in a safe and nurturing environment. Here is an overview of our programs:

Resident Camp is our overnight camping for ages 8-15. Resident Camp consists of Girls, Boys, Coed and Teen camps. Also, for first-time campers, Magnificent Seven & Eights is available to ages 7 and 8 for a shorter stay.


Day Camp is our daytime camp for ages 3-13. Day Camp consists of Mini-Tykes, Zicahota (Zig-a-ho-ta), and Nagi (Nah-gee) camp groups.


Teen programs include Teen Camp, Nagi Day Camp, the Staff Development Program (SDP) and the Youth Leadership Training (YLT) program.


Winter Camp is a four day session after Christmas and is open to ages 8-16.


Family Camp is during Labor Day weekend and is open to anyone from 9 months to age 109.


Retreat Groups and Conferences can reserve a spot at camp in fall, winter and spring for that next great event.
