YMCA Camp Wapsie hosted its annual Community Easter Egg Hunt April 4. It is a mad dash as kids rush quickly across the camp, picking up as many eggs as they can before they are all gone.
After the Easter Egg Hunt, families unpack their eggs and return the shells to the camp leaders.
After check-in, long lines of families wait to see Camp Wapsie’s Murphy the Moose and the Easter Bunny before the hunt starts.

All kids who participated in the Camp Wapsie Easter Egg Hunt were able to pick out two prizes to take home, which were donated by local businesses and families.
