About

YCOA's mission is to actively promote the cabin lifestyle amongst young midwestern and honorary midwestern folk. We are the torchbearers of cabin culture for future generations.

Objectives
YCOA strives to preserve the sanctity of the intergenerational gathering spot that is the cabin.

YCOA encourages ownership or primary caretaking of a midwestern-style cabin at some point in one's life.

YCOA fosters future generations who embrace all aspects of cabin culture, including engaging in all day breakfast, cribbage playing, canoeing, pontoon float building, and more.

YCOA participates in conservation activities related to the cabin environment and ecosystem.

    Earlier this week, Duluth band Trampled by Turtles played David Letterman. Nice work, friends. We spent a few nights in the basement of 1817 E. 7th Street hanging with Bootsy the bunny, RIP.

    The sun sets on a CSMF warm-up Badminton tourney in the courtyard. Thanks to julia for the birthday gift of the set. We are getting primed and ready to take the competition to the next level. At least julia is—undefeated on the day, cruising easily to the top spot.

    Wayyy out in Eastern Oregon for the weekend in Wallowa Lake State Park.  The water was left on at several spigots for what must be the whole winter to make such a mound.

    To top it off, we made a pilgrimage to the Pendleton factory store and bought nothing, but if you have $78 to give me, I might drive all the way back because they carry XXS shirts. Ooh mama.
