In the fall of 1965,
Jim Westby, YMCA Associate General Secretary, after attending a National YMCA conference, sold the idea of starting a day
camp to the YMCA Youth Committee, chaired by Al Norlin. In April of 1966, Al and his brothers Merle, Art, and Floyd, donated
the use of the present camp site along the Big Sioux River for a $1 payment from the YMCA.
Thus Leif Ericson Camp was born.
