Join us for a guided walk through the newly protected conservation easement at YMCA Torch Hayo-Went-H.
This special event is an opportunity for our neighbors, alumni, friends, and community partners to experience firsthand the land that will now be permanently protected from development. As we walk together, you'll learn about the history of camp, the vision behind the conservation easement, and what this milestone means for future generations.
Along the way, we'll share stories of the camp's rich history, explain how the easement protects this extraordinary landscape, and discuss the lasting impact this project will have on campers, our community, and the environment.
Come see for yourself the forests, shoreline, and natural spaces that have inspired generations of young people—and that will now remain protected forever.
Together, we'll celebrate an investment in the future of Hayo-Went-Ha Camps and our community.
Protect. Preserve. Pass It On. Snacks and cookies will be available at the end.
NOTE - Bring good hiking shoes and a waterbottle.
