FREMONT, NE — The Fremont Family YMCA (FFY) announces two new initiatives that will establish Christensen Family YMCA Camp as a year-round facility serving the educational and recreational needs of the Fremont community.
Lutheran High School, Fremont
In partnership with Lutheran High School, Fremont, the Hazel R. Keene Lodge and camp facilities will serve as an educational setting during the academic year, integrating outdoor education into the school’s daily curriculum. This arrangement provides Lutheran High School, Fremont a temporary location as it develops and explores a future permanent home.
“This partnership allows for expanded educational opportunities in our community,” said Lindy Hoyer, CEO of Fremont Family YMCA. “By sharing our resources, we’re able to support another quality educational opportunity and enhanced recreational programming for Fremont residents.”
Summer Recreation
With support from the Dodge County Convention and Visitors Bureau, summer programming at the camp will expand beginning in 2025. New offerings will include open-water swimming and water safety classes, fishing access and instruction, and the use of kayaks, paddleboards, and similar personal watercraft. All while continuing to deliver high-quality outdoor experiences to our Summer Camp participants.
“Our goal is to make Christensen Family YMCA Camp a destination for both Fremont residents and visitors,” Hoyer added. “Each summer, we’ll introduce new programs and activities that support our commitment to healthy living, social responsibility, and youth development.”
The Fremont Family YMCA continues the commitment of serving our community through programs and partnerships that promote health, education, and personal growth for all ages. Beginning Memorial Day 2025, Christensen Family YMCA will be active and engaged year-round, delivering our mission to the community.
