Camp Kern - Events

Outside of our regular programming, YMCA Camp Kern hosts numerous one-off events each year. Some are open to the public, some to alumni, some are just for fun, while others aim to raise funds for our Annual Campaign, so scroll through the details below and decide which event you'd like to get involved in! For a list of ALL Kern events, visit our Events Calendar.

Golf Outing

Enjoy a round of golf while supporting a great cause....Camp Kern! Hosted on the first Monday of June, our Annual Golf Outing Honoring Bob Barr is a great way to give back to your camp by rounding up a foursome, donating a raffle item or sponsoring a hole.

Arctic Dash

Challenge yourself and your friends or family to a 6k mud obstacle course through the grounds of Camp Kern. All proceeds go towards sending kids to camp next summer, and the 19 obstacles will push you to your limit. With 8 years experience of organizing this event, we know how to make the whole process a breeze, while delivering on a high quality mud obstacle run. Arctic Dash...are you tough enough?!

Strawberries & Ice Cream

Whether you were a former camper, counselor, staff member, family camper or guest of Camp Kern, we would love to see you at our annual alumni event, where we update you on all things Kern, introduce the new summer camp staff and reminisce about all the life-changing experiences we've had at our second home.

Pre-Thanksgiving Feast

The weekend before Thanksgiving can be a stressful time, so take a load off with our laid back Pre-Thanksgiving Feast. The Singerman Lodge will be filled with the aroma of the turkey and pumpkin pie, and we would love to share our feast with you and your family.
