Summer Camp Organizations

Located on 320 beautiful acres next to Percy Priest Lake just outside Nashville, Tenn., the Joe C. Davis YMCA Outdoor Center and YMCA Camp Widjiwagan are owned and operated by the YMCA of Middle Tennessee. We offer day camps, ranch camps, and overnight camp sessions emphasizing character development through horseback riding, water sports, sailing, and wilderness survival. Our goal is to provide a safe, fun, magical and educational experience for all guests and children who come to the outdoor center. Each day, we work to demonstrate the Y's core values of Caring, Honesty, Respect and Responsibility while practicing a "Kids and Guests First" philosophy.
