Our History
Building confident campers since 1941.
YMCA Camp Classen has been a cornerstone of outdoor adventure in Oklahoma for more than 80 years. Located in the Arbuckle Mountains, Camp Classen was founded to give youth meaningful outdoor experiences that build physical, social and educational skills. Originally Camp Cunningham, the camp moved to its current location to expand its impact.
Over the years, Camp Classen has grown, adding facilities like Lake Guy James, 89er Village, and the Main Lodge while preserving its rich traditions and spirit of camp.
