The Racine YMCA founded Camp Anokijig in 1926. In May 1926, Ray Vance, then Youth Director of the Racine YMCA, and Adolph Gillund rented 20 acres of land on Little Elkhart Lake from local farmer Mike Hecker. The following summer, 40 acres of land were purchased from Hecker for $8000, and camp development began with the construction of Optimist Mess Hall. Anokijig initially offered residential summer camp programs for boys of southeastern Wisconsin and northern Illinois where campers could participate in swimming, archery, trail crafts, and boating. In 1940, Anokijig began offering co-ed camping. Anokijig is supported by numerous dedicated volunteers and the community. Anokijig is a Native American word meaning "we serve."

In 2005, the Racine YMCA opted to sell Camp Anokijig. A group of concerned and dedicated camp alumni formed a non-profit corporation, the Friends of Camp Anokijig, and secured financing to purchase the camp. Today Camp Anokijig operates as an independent youth and family camp, serving over 10,000 campers and visitors per year.
