Camp OverviewFor over 75 years Camp Ihduhapi has been offering boys and girls the opportunity to experience the magic of camping. Ihduhapi is located just 22 miles west of Minneapolis in Loretto, Minnesota.Camp Ihduhapi is the perfect camp for the beginning camper to experience the fun and excitement of overnight camp while offering the returning campers their favorite activities, renewed friendships, and a place they can call their own.
Camp Ihduhapi is an exceptional site for conferences, retreats and meetings. Set on the edge of Lake Independence, 30 miles west of Minneapolis, the Conference and Retreat Center offers the facilities and atmosphere to make work or family gatherings memorable.
Many combine a stay at Ihduhapi with a custom-tailored teambuilding program at the Adventure Learning Center. A program that uses low initiatives and climbing challenges to test familiar methods of communication, respect, cooperation, trust and problem solving.
YMCA Camp Ihduhapi fosters physical, mental and spiritual growth by providing a fun-filled, challenging and supportive environment in which to learn about nature, others and oneself.

The vision of YMCA Camping Services is to provide transformational experiences in an outdoor setting. The goal of an Ihduhapi Board member is to champion this vision and uncover resources.
Board members participate in monthly meetings and are active in at least one committee or task force of the board according to gifts, talents and abilities.
