Camp Kern is very excited to be hosting Mickey’s Camp this September! Mickey’s Camp has created a unique experience for men to not only relax and bond with one another, but a place that gives back to charity as well. Over the past years, Mickey’s Camp has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for non-profits in Indiana, and they are now expanding to one location in Ohio…Camp Kern!
Check out lots more information and registration options at Mickey’s Camp’s website:

Camp Kern raises money for our Strong Kids “Send a kid to camp” scholarship fund each and every year. The money goes to help make camp a possibility for all of the kids who want and need camp, but aren’t able to attend. This year Camp Kern is raising $81,000 to support the fund, so we can send 180 campers to a week of summer camp!
There are a ton of ways to get involved, and make camp possible for needy kids and families in the Dayton area:

Today is the YMCA of Greater Dayton’s 2011 staff retreat. All of the directors from the Dayton Y are at Camp Kern, spending the day relaxing and getting rejuvenated for another year of great work at the Y.
Todays speaker was Harvey Alston, a former football coach, educator, and inspirational speaker. Harvey spoke to the ability of all people to be their “best”. Harvey’s energy and enthusiasm are infectious.
Thanks, Harvey for your time and stories.
Thank-you YMCA of Greater Dayton for being such a great place to work, and for building into your staff.

Hooray! Today, our new archery targets arrived. Purchased through money received for Camp Kern’s outstanding year in 2010, these are some greatly needed program materials.
Each year literally THOUSANDS of arrows are shot by campers, and finding good targets that can hold up to the abuse isn’t easy. These were recommended by the National Archery In The Schools program. We will experiment with some straw bale targets at our elk archery range, but the main range needs more mobile targets, and these should work great.
Keep your eyes peeled, as we have more coming (hint: it’s not more targets, but you use them for archery…)
