You'll find Camp Jefferson perched atop a sandstone cliff overlooking the Little Blue River valley, about five miles southeast of Fairbury, Nebraska, in Jefferson County.
Founded in 1921, the Camp is a 40-acre retreat that currently features 11 sleeping cabins, a modern food service building, a meeting hall, a large shower-house, a newer in-ground swimming pool, a fishing and boating lake, several picnic shelters, an outdoor amphitheater, and ample wooded trails--just to name a few things.
Since 1975, Camp Jefferson has been owned and operated by Camp Jefferson, Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization overseen by a volunteer board of directors whose mission is to provide for the general care and maintenance of Camp facilities for the benefit of the youth and other groups that make use of them. Camp Jefferson, Inc., is an equal opportunity organization. We operate solely on the modest proceeds from camp rentals and the generous donations large and small from kindly benefactors.
A YMCA camp at the start, Camp Jefferson today as always has as its primary objective providing great outdoor experiences for the youth of southeast Nebraska and northeast Kansas (and elsewhere, of course). However, the Camp is available to all on a first-come, first-served basis with very reasonable rental rates for half-day through week-long events. Family and school reunions are as common at the Camp as Scout or church outings, and wedding bells sometimes even ring from Camp Jefferson throughout the valley.
The peaceful, serene getaway is the perfect spot for your next family reunion, church or youth camp.
