Located on 485 beautiful acres in the Little Miami River Valley of Southwestern Ohio, YMCA Camp Kern is owned and operated by the YMCA of Greater Dayton.

As we close our 98th consecutive summer of camping programs, YMCA Camp Kern is proud to be accredited by the American Camp Association. Developed exclusively for camps, this nationally recognized association focuses on program quality, and health and safety issues. ACA requires us to review every facet of our operation. Camp Kern has voluntarily submitted to this independent appraisal done by camp experts and has earned its mark of distinction.
