The Phantom Square

Founder Daddy Wones adapted the Phantom Square symbol from the symbol of Camp Manitou, in New Auburn, WI, which is meant to represent mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional growth. Each side of the square represents one of the four qualities. The square is the symbol of Phantom Lake YMCA Camp and stands for the philosophy of living a “four square life.”
