YMCA Day Camp Kici Yapi
Private
This YMCA of the North day camp operated as Day Camp Kici Yapi for more than 50 years at an 80-acre Prior Lake site and has since moved to Gathering Pines, a 225-acre site of woods, prairie and pastureland with five lakes near Lakeville. Campers choose among traditional camp, nature and science, and arts and imagination programs, and the site adds a community pool, climbing wall and horseback riding lessons. YMCA of the North day camps serve ages 4-14 and run by the week through the summer.

★Charlie SchwabI loved Camp Kici Yapi growing up, but I used to take frogs and snails home in my lunchbox. One of the councilors found out, took all the frogs, and threw them out of the bus window while we were going back to the YMCA. He then turned to me and told me I killed all those frogs. I still mourn for them

★★★★★Tony DelmonteRode my first horse there back around 1980-1981. I remember the the names of the buses named after fruit which I was on Cherry Bus that I made a song about. also there was a Black Stallion there named Jet. Eagle Creek Stables was also nearby. Great to see that after all these years you guys have been around. I still ride horses to this day Would like to visit sometime Tony
