Adventure Learning / Teambuilding

YMCA Camp Icaghowan can provide the relaxed environment conducive to learning, discovering, teambuilding and fellowship. Our professional staff will assist you in creating a memorable and valued experience.

Curiosity, self-discovery, and a sense of wonder are all fostered at Camp Icaghowan, where the boundaries for learning are expanded beyond the conference room or classroom to the outdoors. We believe that learning is best accomplished when people are actively engaged in meaningful studies.

Our programs are designed with a "hands-on," experiential learning approach, where participants are encouraged to ask questions and make observations.
