SUMMER DAY CAMP
YMCA Camp nurtures the potential of youth to develop positive relationships and a sense of belonging. Y camps offer opportunities to build and strengthen positive character values and appreciate the differences in others. Bonds built bring participants back year after year and lead to lifelong friendships.
Campers of all ages and abilities find success through the skill-building opportunities of camp programs, having fun and learning confidence and values. Camp combines well-trained leaders with elementary, middle school and teenage campers for an extended number of days in exceptional outdoor environments that provide outstanding physical activity and healthy living experiences.

WELCOME & PRICING
Hi Parents! Thank you for choosing the YMCA, we are excited to have your kids join our summer camp where they will have a chance to explore the outdoors, discover new activities, be challenged, and experience adventure! At camp, we believe that the ear-to-ear grin on your camper's face doesn't happen by accident. At the Y, your camper’s smile is there because we know that having fun is essential to nurturing the potential of your child. Your smile will come from knowing that your camper has developed the tools that will help them grow and thrive.

WHAT TO EXPECT
When asked this question, some say Y-Camp is a magical place. We know what makes Y camp special, and it is not magic. It is our amazing staff!
- Y camp focuses on activities that create a foundation for building emotional intelligence and problem solving skills. We like to work in groups of all sizes, from interpersonal communication to our whole camp. We want you and our campers to feel like a part of that group.
- Y camp is special because of the genuine connections made throughout the summer with our staff and campers.
- You will feel a welcoming and inclusive environment at Y camp, and in everything we do.
- Y camp is tiring. We are on our feet, ready to go all day! We are constantly doing activities, visiting places, or just playing games! By the time we get home we are exhausted, but we wouldn’t trade our experiences for the world.
- Y camp is loud. Very loud! Imagine getting 400 campers ready for the week at our weekly opening rallies. Or, being on a bus with 50 extremely excited campers getting ready to ride their very first roller coaster. We expect it to be loud, and we love it LOUD.
