the Sheridan County YMCA. Lakes, streams, forest, beautiful
mountain peaks, scenery and abundant wildlife all provides an
incredible playground for our campers.

encourages a spirit of exploration and adventure. Our staff
strive to create a safe environment while each part of camp life is
designed to promote the YMCA core values of caring, honesty, respect
and responsibility. While providing several traditional
activities such as canoeing, hiking and fishing, we also provide a
balance of outdoor education, fun, challenge, responsibility and
adventure that define campers’ lives.

The Sheridan County YMCA purchased the
former Pines Lodge in February 2008 for development into a year-round
resident camp that will serve the entire region. The summer of
2008 was spent adding a new bathhouse, upgrading and winterizing the
water and sewer system, new windows, doors and roof on all existing
cabins and general maintenance. The summer of 2009 saw us
enjoying our first year of camp programming.
“Tradition and
Vision...The Trail Ahead” , a campaign to assure the future of “YMCA of
the Bighorns”, is on track for 2010. Individuals, families,
businesses, or foundations can be remembered or honored through their
generosity to this campaign.
