You don’t need a trail guide to figure out camp!
Camp Classen’s summer sessions are co-ed overnight, experiences that serve children ages 7-16. These experiences can range from one or two weeklong sessions. Campers aged 15-16 are eligible to enroll in our two-week Camp Leadership Program (“CLP”) sessions.
YMCA of Greater Oklahoma City household members enjoy a 25% discount on all summer sessions.
If you have multiple children attending camp, there is a flat $50 discount for each additional child registered. Cost should never be the reason a child may not attend camp. If you have questions or concerns regarding camp registration you may contact our guest services director, Sarah Jolly, at [email protected].
Camp Classen is an American Camp Association (ACA) accredited camp with over 80 years of history. We follow the standards mandated by the ACA and the YMCA of USA to ensure our practices are the best they can be. The health and well-being of our community is the top priority for us all.
We prioritize close supervision and safety. In the cabin, we maintain a camper to counselor ratio of 6:1 to ensure that each camper receives personal attention and support.
When at the waterfront, our camper-to-lifeguard ratio is 25:1. These safety standards provide a secure environment for all water-based activities.

We make every effort to place campers with their requested cabin mates.
Campers should limit their cabin mate requests to only one friend to support positive cabin dynamics and encourage new friendships. Cabins are assigned by age and gender, and cabin mates must be within one year of age. Both families must submit the request on the registration form, Cabin Life Form, or in writing to the Camp Registrar before arrival.
Requests made less than one week prior to the start of a session are not guaranteed.
Campers are not allowed to have cash at camp. Before your camper’s session, you can add money to their Trading Post account using the WALLET feature. This feature also allows you to view the balance, add funds and check purchase history.
The Trading Post offers snacks that range in price from 50¢ to $3. These snacks include but are not limited to pretzels, chips, cheez-its, teddy grahams, cookies, ice cream and cold drinks.
Additionally, the Trading Post has a selection of souvenir items typically priced between $2.50 and $20. These Camp Classen-themed souvenirs include t-shirts, stuffed animals, flashlights, water bottles, and frisbees.
We recommend about $15 for snacks for a weeklong session with any additional amount being at your discretion for souvenirs. However, this amount is not required.
Campers can ask their counselors for their daily balance to manage spending. At the end of the week, the remaining funds can either be refunded or donated to the Camp Classen Community Charity Program.
Every camper may choose to have a one-time trail ride for an additional $35. If you have not signed up for a trail ride, please call or email [email protected] and we will add it to your registration.
Campers ages 10-14 can also choose Rawhide Ranch Camp for $100.
Camper Mail & Care Packages
We highly recommend sending mail to your camper, but we do have a few suggestions before you do so. We recommend the following when writing to your camper:
You may get mail to your campers by 3 different methods:
Care packages are also available to order directly from Camp Classen. We offer several different care package options that range in price from $6–$60. You may order care packages at Hugs from Home Order Form or by calling the camp office at 580-369-2272.
Phone Calls & Visits
We find campers with homesickness can have it intensify by hearing a parent’s voice or seeing a parent in person. Therefore, we do not usually allow visits or phone calls from parents. If there are concerns that go beyond typical homesickness, camp staff may reach out to parents.
