IDAHO FALLS YMCA
BIG ELK CREEK CAMP

Become part of something bigger than yourself. Our camp is a place where kids can develop skills, confidence and new friendships.

Big Elk Creek Y Camps provide unforgettable summer camp experiences for boys and girls in beautiful South Eastern Idaho. Every summer at Big Elk Creek Camp is unique. For over 20+ years, campers and staff from across the world with different backgrounds assemble to forge their community, one anchored in the traditions of the hundreds of participants that came before them. Each for all, all for each, is the rallying cry of our campers and staff. We seek to lift one another to new heights of personal and collective accomplishment. Join us this summer and we'll save a seat at the campfire for you!

What summer camps are offered?

Overnight Camps

Overnight camps are the core of what summer camp is about. At Big Elk Creek Camp there are so many skills learned and used every day which help make anyone happy to help others and learn while doing. Personalized instruction and one-on-one guidance for every single child is our goal to make sure it's the best experience a kid can have.

 Current camp dates are: July 10-14, (Survival) Aug 7-11 (Survival) and Aug 17-20 (Back to School Bash). Just contact us for more info!
