Kern's Centennial Campaign

100th Anniversary

Summer 2007 will mark 97 years of camping at YMCA Camp Kern. This means in only three short years Camp Kern will reach a mark of distinction many camps only dream of reaching, 100 consecutive summers of programming. The Camp Kern centennial is a cause for celebration, and with only three years to plan, the date is rapidly approaching. 

As current Camp Kern families, you can get involved with the planning for the 100th year celebration in a number of ways. Volunteer on one of Camp Kern’s many committees, help spread the word of our 100th celebration by contacting Camp Kern friends and alumni, or generously donate to the upcoming Centennial Fund. With your help we can make this milestone incredible!

For more information, or to get involved, please contact Camp Kern (800) 255-KERN.
