Bridging Generations—Preserving the Spirit of du Nord
The need for a Capital Campaign
The facilities at du Nord are in need of repairs, replacements,
refurbishment and additions to effectively and safely support the
continuing strong demand for YMCA Family Camping. YMCA Camp du Nord has
been operating for 47 years and some of the Northland cabins are 74
years of age. The camp continues to operate at capacity, which is
straining the facilities to support its heritage of a high quality
camping experience for families. The Capital Campaign will result in
improvements which will be sensitive to maintaining the rustic camp
environment, insuring safety, and isolating automobiles.
Join us in preserving the Spirit of du Nord!
You can help keep du Nord a wonderful place for families to bond with
each other and nature by contributing to our Capital Improvement
Campaign. You may contribute by mail, phone, or online (see general
Donate section for details). We have had a wonderful outpouring of gifts
to allow us to already begin work on many improvements to du Nord—see
our progress to date below—but more are needed. All donations are
welcome!
