Camp Menogyn Branch YMCA

55 Menogyn Trail

Mission:

Our mission is simple: To provide transformational experiences in a wilderness setting, emphasizing quality, personal growth and relationships.

We specialize in wilderness activities like canoeing, backpacking, rock climbing, dog sledding, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.

Respect is the foundation of all Menogyn sessions and trips.

  • Respect for self: Respect begins by believing in yourself and your own capabilities. At Menogyn we stress taking care of yourself and taking responsibility for your actions.

  • Respect for others: We emphasize goal setting, sharing and working together as a group to accomplish more collectively than would be possible individually. We honor individual differences, believing that diversity presents many opportunities for learning and personal growth.

  • Respect for the environment: Travel in the wilderness is conducted using "Leave No Trace" ethics and standards.

  • Respect for equipment: We stress the importance of taking care of the tools and equipment we use in wilderness travel.
