Title
YWCA Camp Onanda Lakeside
Description
At a location sometimes called Parkhurst Point or Point Rochester, this popular YWCA camp began as a "Vacation House" rented to single young women at very reasonable rates. It seems to have taken its name from an association of donors, who went on to build out recreation facilities, dormitories, and dining halls.
At its peak Camp Onanda hosted up to 150 visitors per session, gradually shifting from young working women to school-age campers and church groups. In 1989, faced with untenable costs of ownership the YWCA donated the facility to the town of Canadaigua. It's now a park.
