Athens YWCO Camp for Girls has been operating as a summer camp since 1925. Because of that, we have a rich heritage full of camp alumni. We love staying in touch and reconnecting with former YWCO campers. Let us hear from you in our contact section if you want to drop us a note!

Camp Songbooks
We’ve had requests from some of our Alumni Family for some camp songbooks!
And although we’ve moved to the mountains, we’re still singing Sewanee, Today, Tell Me Why, and Good ‘Ol Mountain Dew! We recently retyped our songbook and it is available as a PDF for anyone interested. It may not have all of the the old songs, but a lot that you recognize!
Please send us an email at ycamp@windstream.net we’ll send it to you so you can still be “the girls from Y camp we’ve heard so much about!” If you feel inclined, in return a small (or large) donation to our scholarship fund would be greatly appreciated! In these hard times, we have a lot of requests and try very hard not to turn down any campers for financial reasons. Any small donation will help girls continue to learn the songs that you love!
We would love to be able to put together in digital format all of the camp songs that have since been retired, so if you would email titles, words, whatever you remember to darilee@athensywcocamp.com, that would be great!

The second phase will continue down the pathway to the small gravel lot in front of the dining hall and we want your name to be there! Each stone can be engraved with up to three lines, with 14 characters per line including spaces.
