cabins, two challenge courses, the lake, and
outdoor theater, shelter house, science lab, and
Reeves Center Conference Facility.

Camp provides camping opportunities for
Foundation For Youth members, a broad range of
challenge education activities, and

COMMUNITY PROFILE
FRIENDS OF CAMP 2008
The Friends of Camp
Day, April 26th, 2008, was a huge
success. Over 75 visitors came to enjoy the
celebration and camaraderie. In addition to the
fellowship and story-telling, we collected
pictures and artifacts from our more than 70
years of Summer Camp.
The Friends of Camp
are made up of past Campers, Counselors, and
Camp Directors from Columbus Youth Camp’s rich
history. They have helped shape the more
than 70 years that CYC has been a place of Laughter
and Learning. Columbus Youth Camp, and the
Friends of Camp continue to capture the
stories, traditions, and artifacts of days gone
by. We want to hear from the people who have
shaped, and been shaped by one of our richest
community assets. Columbus Youth Camp.
The Columbus Youth Camp would
like to thank all of the people who have built our rich
heritage over the years.
