Did you know that Flat Rock YMCA Camp is open year round?
During our spring, fall and winter seasons at Flat Rock we open our doors to all types of events. We have a variety
of housing and meeting options for groups of all sizes. Prepare your own meals or relax and have meal service provided by
our full-service kitchen. Enjoy the beauty of our Camp by taking a hike in the woods, fishing in our pond or sitting in our
rocking chair.
Tent Camping The Real Deal
Our Outpost Property contains ample tent camping space, a covered
pavilion and a large campfire circle. Our solar-powered compost toilet
provides an indoor bathroom facility for the space. There is no running water
at the site, but campers can fill their water up at the Lodge at the main camp
ground during their stay. Campers provide their own food, supplies and
programming unless otherwise arranged with the Flat Rock staff.
Camping with a backup plan:
Our Main Camp can provide tent camping space on our Athletic Field and has access to our Pool house with bathroom and
shower facilities. This space includes a covered picnic table area, campfire circle and Outdoor Pavilion with fire place.
This site is perfect for the group that wants to camp under the open skies, have access to indoor plumbing, and have
somewhere dry to go in case of rain. Campers provide their own food, supplies and programming
unless otherwise arranged with the Flat Rock staff.
Yurt Camping:
Enjoy sleeping under a large, climate controlled circular tent and worry less about the weather. Each Yurt hosts 12 beds
and provides an outdoor camping feeling without the tent. Our yurts have access to our Pool house with bathroom and
shower facilities, a fire pit, and our Outdoor Pavilion with a fire place in case of rain. Campers provide their own food,
supplies and programming unless otherwise arranged with the Flat Rock staff.
