Marland Cup

Marland Cup is the YMCA’s annual state-wide youth camp that began in 1990 to provide young people with the opportunity to participate in ‘clean, healthy fun’. Forming teams of 6-8, young people compete in various challenges over the course of the weekend. Teams are awarded points for their achievement and at the end of the weekend, these points are tallied. The team with the highest amount of points take home the Marland Cup Trophy. The camp is open to any young person aged 12-17.
