Camp Warren is a YMCA of the North overnight camp on 600 acres of white pine on Half Moon Lake near Eveleth, about three hours north of the Twin Cities. It is Minnesota's only YMCA camp with single-gender sessions: girls attend the first five weeks of summer, boys the following five. Campers sail, ride horses, canoe, do arts and crafts, drama and pottery, play tennis, climb the rock wall and do team building. The camp has run for more than 90 years, on land bought in 1927 through the Dayton Endowment.

★★★★★Elizabeth FrostMy kids STILL talk about the wonderful kids they met, their counselors and all the wonderful experiences. They even all sing the camp songs! That was 10 years ago and I just can't say enough incredible things about this Camp!!
★★★★★Jamee MoellerThis was my kids first year (7 & 9 year olds) going to camp and they haven’t been able to stop talking about all the fun they had and are very excited about going back next year. Thank you!
★★★★★Whitney Ness (MB)Have been coming here since I was 10. Better than home on many occasions. Beautiful place to be in nature and make good friends.
★★★★★KevinBeen going to camp for 5 years, I have had a great experience at camp. All of there’re activities are super fun. I would recommend sailing, arts and crafts, athletics and boating. They provide a lot of cool trips like 50/50, which is a fantastic sailing trip. The trip last 5 days, but you go to camp for a full 2 week session. It is invite only but you can easily get in if you sign up for sailing especially if you do sailing emphases ( a extra class of sailing.) There are other trips like short border which is a trip around the boundary waters for five days, it is not invite only, but it can fill up. So sign up as soon as possible if you want to go.
★★★★★Sabrina HanoldI absolutely love Camp Warren! It has wonderful staff and so many things to do! I love going back every year❤
