Building Leaders for Tomorrow since 1945

Camp Youth Incorporated has been building the leaders of tomorrow since 1945! Camp YI is a youth overnight summer camp for ages 8-14 held in June and July of each year located on a peninsula of Percy Priest Lake in LaVergne, Tennessee. We offer a variety of outdoor experiences for young campers, including water sports, horseback riding, climbing, swimming & so much more! Our summer camp programs focus on building leadership skills, teamwork, and environmental stewardship, along with a sense of community so that our campers can build lasting friendships. Our mission is to provide a safe and inclusive space for children to learn, grow, and connect with nature.

Our 2025 Summer Camp Season has concluded! 
We can’t wait until June & July 2026!

Camp Activities

Camp Y.I. is situated on a peninsula overlooking Percy Priest Lake. Our 175 acres provides an outdoor playground for campers grades 2 - 10 and Counselors-In-Training entering grade 11 and 12. We provide opportunities to build self-confidence and independence in a beautiful outdoor setting.

Overnight Summer Camp

Campers will stay overnight one week or two weeks participating in a variety of activities such as horseback riding, fun on the lake, waterskiing, kneeboarding, tubing, canoeing, swimming in our pool, ropes courses, climbing tower, arts and crafts, outdoor living skills, and so much more!

Letter from the Camp Director

Dear Parents and Campers, On a hot summer day in June of 1967, an eight-year-old little girl arrived by bus at Camp Y.I.. Earlier that day, 100 girls ages 8-14 had met at the Sears parking lot in downtown Nashville. Once the trunks were packed and several hugs and kisses later, they waved goodbye....

Water fun!

I LOVE Camp YI!! It is so fun, you forget about your electronics. All of the staff members treat you as if you were their child. The meals are amazing, hot, and nutritious. Everyone makes sure you are included, have fun, and safe all at the same time. I look forward to going every single year. 10/10 would recommend.

I grew up at Youth Incorporated, and it has been my great joy to pass on the love of Camp YI to both of my daughters.

I love every single part of this camp. The activities are so fun and the staff are so energetic and kind. Also, the night activities are super exiting and I always have a great time at this camp! Plus, the food is delicious and the meals are always hot. I am so blessed to get to work here after being a camper for years!

My girls went last year. They absolutely loved it. It was their first time at an overnight camp. The first thing they said when they saw me was "can I come back next year!". One of my daughters forgot the tie dye shirt she made there and they mailed it to us before I even had a chance to contact them about it. They can't wait to go back this year!
