At YMCA Camp Potawotami, we work to increase camper's sense of accomplishment and belonging while they learn about positive character traits and values.

Our tools are well-trained staff, carefully planned programs and safe, clean facilities. Campers gain a sense of accomplishment by trying activities and developing new skills - for many campers, being away from home for a week is an accomplishment in itself! Making new friends and being a good friend in return helps campers gain a sense of belonging. Each person is a valued part of the YMCA Camp Potawotami community. We emphasize character traits and values in many ways during the week. YMCA Camp Potawotami places an emphasis on learning, growing and doing your best. The character traits we focus on are Honesty, Caring, Respect, Responsibility and Faith. Our unique Wampum Bead program encourages campers to choose a character trait to work on during camp and throughout the entire year.

The first official day of fall was September 22nd, and we couldn’t be more excited! We love the cooler weather it brings, cozy vibes, beautiful colors of autumn as the leaves begin to change, and being that much closer to summer. ❤️🧡💛

Here’s to crisp mornings, colorful trees, campfire nights, and making more memories together! 🎃🍂

Happy Fall, Campers! We hope you’re ready for all the autumn magic and we hope to see you at fall camp! 🧡

Huge shout out to !!!! Check them out!
Camp Snap isn't just a camera, it's a movement back to the moment
We love using their cameras to capture candids, send them on our Voyager trip, and use during our photography skills class.
Screen-Free, WiFi-Free, Worry-Free
No apps. No social media. No distractions. Just kids being kids and capturing every moment along the way.

🔥 Keeper of the Fire – Karen 🔥

Some awards are given every year. Some are earned through a single season. And then there are awards that are reserved for the people who become part of the very heart of Camp Potawotami. Keeper of the Fire is one of those honors. It is not given out often, because not everyone leaves behind a legacy that lasts long after they leave camp. The Keeper of the Fire is someone who has carried the magic of camp, helped it grow, inspired the people around them, and left Camp Potawotami better than they found it.

After 7 years of service, Karen has done exactly that. From helping bring new spaces and experiences to camp — including a brand-new cabin, the high ropes course, and building renovations — to serving countless campers and creating memories that will last a lifetime, her impact can be seen in so many corners of camp. But her greatest contribution was never just what she built. It was the people she built up. She has been a mentor, a role model, a leader, and an incredible friend to so many people who have walked through these gates.

Karen, you have been a driving force behind Camp Potawotami and a huge part of what makes this place feel like camp. You brought the magic, protected the traditions, embraced the changes, and helped keep the fire burning for the next generation. As you begin a new journey and carry that fire with you to a new camp, we hope you know just how much of your light will always remain here.

There may not be a Keeper of the Fire every summer. Some summers, there may be several. But whenever this honor is given, it is because someone has truly left their mark on Camp Potawotami.

Karen, we could not imagine anyone more deserving. Thank you for 7 incredible years. Once a part of the Camp Potawotami family, always a part of it. ❤️🔥

This is goodnight and not goodbye
Congratulations, Keeper of the Fire.

🏆 2026 Female Counselor of the Year – Leah! 🏆

It is such an honor to recognize Leah as our 2026 Summer Female Counselor of the Year! Throughout the summer, Leah proved time and time again that she is someone you can count on. She became stronger week after week, took on every challenge with a smile, and brought confidence, positivity, and dedication to every area she worked in. 💛

But don’t just take our word for it… 👀

💬 “She is just the best at what she does. She is incredibly organized and always knows what needs to be done, and almost always has a solution for a situation. Literally amazing.”

💬 “She is always willing to help out and has a positive attitude no matter what!”

💬 “She accepts every challenge with a smile and a good attitude, always completing her job to the best of her abilities — which are quite high. She cares about her kids and absolutely crushed it every single week.”

💬 “She is always prepared and confident in everything she does. If I was a camper, I would feel more than comfortable in her hands.”

💬 “She was born a natural with children no matter the age! She’s strong-willed and gets things done right.”

Leah, thank you for giving your all every single week, stepping up to every challenge, and caring so deeply for your campers. Your hard work, confidence, positivity, and ability to make things happen did not go unnoticed. We are incredibly proud of you! 🌟

Congratulations, Leah! Our 2026 Female Counselor of the Year! 🎉💛
