YMCA Camp Abe Lincoln has been using our beautiful 250-acre location on the banks of the Mississippi River just outside of the Quad Cities to connect kids to nature, to each other, and to their own potential since 1924. Through the volunteer leadership of the YMCA of the Iowa Mississippi Valley, YMCA Camp Abe Lincoln has been able to make continuous improvements to preserve the natural beauty of the grounds, while also adding a multitude of fun and in-demand program experiences, and modern amenities.
By providing overnight, day camp, retreats, rentals, weddings and corporate team-building opportunities, Camp Abe Lincoln has the ability to connect with and inspire any person or group. We are excited to build upon the incredible legacy of Camp Abe Lincoln by continuing to ensure through our scholarship programs that all kids get the ability to experience their best!
Registration is now open for 2024!
