Enriching lives, changing the world. The Rotary Youth Camp provides life changing camping experiences. The new building provides for current and future needs and growth for youth enrichment and fun.

The Rotary Youth Camp provides an outdoor camping experience for disabled and disadvantaged youth. The original administration and health buildings were about 50 years old and no longer met the accessibility and camper needs of today. A single building was developed consisting of administrative offices, counselor bunk rooms, exam rooms and isolation rooms. The building is fully accessible and incorporated an energy efficient design as well as equipment to minimize the long term costs for the camp. Large windows allow staff to have visibility of a large area of the camp grounds. By locating on the existing sloping site, it provided an opportunity to create a safe refuge from storms in the basement.
