Cook County day camp, run by the Duluth-area YMCA at its Grand Marais facility, gives kids an outdoor-focused summer with nature play such as fort building, scavenger hunts, hikes, nature games, gardening and bug catching. The full-day camp uses the YMCA gym, school grounds, the Community Center and Grand Marais Harbor; families pack a lunch and the Y provides snacks. Weekly and daily rates with online registration.

★★★★★Sonja SaundersWe appreciate the Y, and the friendly people working at the front desk! My husband plays pickleball; I attend fitness classes. Grateful it is here.
★★★★★Autumn BonnerWe purposely tried out the Y several times while making our decision to move to Grand Marais this year. We felt very welcomed, were super appreciative of the community, and loved the pool and Tri-Swim program. It's a huge reason why we made the leap to live here. Thank you!
★★★★★Stephen - WiggAlyssa was more than helpful. It was my first time here and she find my Silver Sneakers membership. She got me signed up, and I’m good to go the next time.
★Tim KovachThe signs clearly state clothing appropriate for working out should be worn. My wife was wearing a sport top made specifically for working out and was told she has to put a tshirt on over the top...while people were walking around in swimwear way more revealing than what my wife was wearing. Weight room was extremely hot and humid with only one wall mounted fan. Locker rooms are tight. It could use more weight plates, I had to pull 45lb plates from everywhere in the weight room. I was visiting from out of town so I sent an email a few days before arriving asking a question and it was never answered. It's a small town gym, but could use an equipment and staff upgrade.
★★★★★DrewGreat YMCA with a pool, hot tub, and sauna. The Sauna was one of the best I have been in. We were camping all season but became members and it was the thing we looked forward to daily. It has all the other basic stuff, weight room, cardio machines, offers classes. The thing we will remember is the sauna.
