Facilities

Since 1972, Camp Hertko Hollow has been held at the Des Moines YMCA Camp site north of Boone, Iowa.  It is located along the Des Moines River.

Facilities include a new Pioneer Building with offices and meeting rooms, remodeled dining room and kitchen, Olympic size swimming pool, horse stables, arts & crafts lodge, health lodge and 24 cabins.  Campers live in cabins with other campers their age along with a Y leader, health professionals, and diabetes counselors.   There are usually 14 bunk beds per cabin.   The Y Camp provides a safe place for campers to learn about life in the outdoors and make lifelong friendships.  The values of caring, respect, responsibility, honesty and health are emphasized during the week at camp.
