CAMP YEOMALT 900 Park Avenue N.E.
(Closest cross streets: Park Avenue and Yeomalt Pt. Dr.)
Camp Yeomalt is located on Park Avenue just
east of the Yeomalt Point road. The park totals three acres and
was acquired by the Park District in 1987 from the Boy Scouts of
America.
First developed
by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1935, the camp originally consisted
of a large log lodge that needs major repair and is not useable at
this time. The Park District added a multi-purpose building with restroom
and the property has a very nice woodland area with trail.
The multi-purpose
building is used primarily for scout meetings and activities, other
youth group activities, and Park District classes. The maximum capacity
of the building is approximately 20 and although it is heavily used,
it is available for occasional rentals. See Fee Schedule for rates.
