WELCOME TO

YMCA CAMP CLASSEN

Our Mission

Our mission is to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind, and body for all.

For over 80 years, YMCA Camp Classen “Camp” has been the go-to spot for outdoor adventure and unforgettable experiences for campers of all ages. With 2,200 acres of streams, forest trails, open fields, lakes, and horseback riding, Camp has a little something for everyone. Whether it’s summer camp, family camp, or outdoor education, each day is packed with chances to explore, learn, and build memories that will last a lifetime. 

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.
