"My son had such a great time at camp! Usually reserved, it was great to see such enthusiasm from him! He can't wait till next year!" - Camper parent, summer 2009

" My children emerge from camp with new experiences, new friends and increased appreciation for life and all that it offers. I'm continually impressed by all my children gain during their time at Storer, and how it helps them long after the session has ended."  -Camper parent, summer 2008

"I can barely get him to leave when I come to pick him up. Even though I miss him I know the life lessons he is learning are invaluable." -Camper parent, summer 2008

Welcome
For over 90 years, YMCA Storer Camps has been a leader in Environmental Education where nature makes science relevant and stewardship of our world comes alive for students from all over the country and all over the world.

Located in the beautiful Irish Hills of Southeast Michigan, our Storer Outdoor School has a 1200-acre campus with 15 different eco systems – a rare combination of “Lands for Learning”, that features the Mohr Environmental Studies Center, where students link technology with all things natural.

Mission

Many are concerned that technology is keeping children inside but we use technology to explore the natural world. Students can’t see the electricity generated from our solar array but they can monitor what it is doing, on site… AND from their classrooms at school. We are reaching beyond the boundaries of our campus. Sunviwer.net™ - YMCA Storer Camps is the first of many future links in our Long Distance Learning Programs. Our solar array can be monitored from anywhere in the world… and we invite the world to come to YMCA Storer Camps to learn more…

TO SERVE…TO TEACH…TO INSPIRE...

With GPS units in hand, students can find and explore our unique ecosystem… or perhaps map the lake edge or inventory Storer’s rare flora and fauna… literally creating new banks of knowledge. Storer’s Lands for Learning opportunities are endless.
