The new 400-acre YMCA camp—nestled on the mountainside above Horsethief Reservoir, 10 miles east of Cascade in central Idaho—will offer youngsters a one-of-a-kind outdoor experience.
“We believe camps are a magical place for kids,” says Jim Everett, the Treasure Valley Y’s chief executive officer. “From our zip line and climbing wall that was formed in the shape of Idaho to the inclusive nature of our campers and staff, kids really feel a sense of belonging and acceptance. The pristine location and experience of becoming ‘unplugged’ allows kids to get in touch with nature and to connect in a face-to-face way with each other. It is really a special place.”
