Camp Wapsie

Location and Site

YMCA Camp Wapsie is accredited by the American Camping Association (ACA), serving boys and girls, ages of 6-18 in our summer resident and day camp program and campers of all ages throughout our year round retreat and family camp programs. Situated on 172 acres of scenic woodlands and wetlands with an oxbow lake off the Wapsipinicon River in northern Linn County, Iowa. YMCA Camp Wapsie is owned and operated by the YMCA of the Cedar Rapids Metropolitan Area.



The warm and relaxed atmosphere of Camp Wapsie, with its natural beauty, provides an ideal setting to experience the outdoors and for enhancing the self-esteem of all people. Camp Wapsie, with our deep tradition in camping, is the place to help young people build the character values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility. The underlying principles we strive to instill into our campers as we build Strong Kids, Strong Families and Strong Communities, here at YMCA Camp Wapsie!
