In 1945 Mr. Allen Dobson formed Youth Incorporated. With a forward thinking and philanthropic mindset he set out to develop friendships and multi-cultural understanding following WWII. Mr. Dobson's Foreign Exchange Program "Hands Across the Sea" hosted young adults in the Greater Nashville area. Day camps, sports leagues, clubs and employment services followed at various sites in Nashville.
In 1957, Mr. Dobson's generous donation of land in Rutherford County enabled many generations to come an opportunity to learn and thrive at Camp YI ~ an outdoor and community building experience. We are continuing to "Build Leaders for Tomorrow" and to date thousands of you have experienced our various programs and connected with nature through outdoor recreation.

Summer Camp
Report
Summer camp at Y.I. is spent swimming, horseback riding, climbing, canoeing, creating, hanging out, listening to others, listening to frogs and crickets, rain on a metal roof, camp songs, campfires and more. We believe that playing, learning & laughing while enjoying the outdoors is one of life's most meaningful experiences for children as well as adults.
