History
YWCA of Metropolitan Detroit first took girls working in industry in Detroit up to the lake shore to camp to help clear their lungs and live in a healthy environment for the week. They later moved on north to Lakeport, then in 1927 they moved to our current site here on Lake Huron 4.5 miles north of Lexington, Michigan. We still serve over 3000 campers a year!
