Al-Gon-Quian

Camp Al-Gon-Quian, operated by the Ann Arbor YMCA, is an ACA-accredited overnight camp located on the beautiful shores of Burt Lake in Northern Michigan. Serving campers ages 6 through 16, the camp provides a structured and nurturing environment through traditional one-to-two week summer programs and seasonal offerings. The 150-acre campus features a mix of forests, playing fields, and a natural spring, offering a peaceful setting for campers to engage in nature-based learning and social development.

The camp experience is built around long-standing traditions and a variety of engaging activities, from classic games like Capture the Flag and Scatterball to unique camp rituals. This rich history and structured programming help create a 'home away from home' atmosphere, which can be particularly beneficial for children seeking a sense of belonging and routine in a supportive, supervised outdoor setting.

Located approximately four hours north of Ann Arbor, the camp provides a safe, supervised space for children to build independence and social skills. While the camp offers a wide range of seasonal and summer programs, families are encouraged to contact the Ann Arbor YMCA directly to discuss specific needs, accommodations, or program details for their child.
