Weather and Elyria YMCA Camp Iss-See-Kes closure
The outlook calls for warm wet weather through Saturday with a 30 to 50 percent chance of showers. Elyria Family YMCA Camp Iss-See-Kes, a 43 acre site on the Vermilion River in Brownhelm Township, was closed indefinitely and may be sold due to lack of demand and rising maintenance costs. Board vice president John Vance blamed the recession and the popularity of family trailer camping for the decline in resident camp and support dollars.
