Summer Camp means making memories with friends old and new, learning and trying new things, and having a blast at camp! This year is no different. You can trust the Y to deliver a fun, engaging summer that will leave your camper tired at the end of the day!

With dozens of day camp options to choose from, the Y has the perfect camp for youth of all ages and interests. Learn about space, get creative in the kitchen, design your own fashion line, build robots, or take center stage. All YMCA camps will offer your child the chance to get outside, eat healthy, make new friends, and have an incredible summer.

SUMMER CAMP OPTIONSReady for the Best Summer Ever?

Traditional Camp is so much more than just a place to go when school’s out for the summer. At Y Camp, campers have fun, develop skills, and gain confidence through games, swimming, sports, crafts, educational activities, character development, and so much more. During the summer, children lose up to 30% of knowledge gained during the school year. Therefore, we incorporate fun literacy and STEAM-based activities to combat the summer slide and advance your child’s learning.

Many campers just can’t get enough of the fun, so we provide even more ways for them to make this the best summer ever! Specialty Camps provide two-four hours per day (M-TH, 9:00 AM-11:00 AM or M-TH, 12:00 – 4:00 PM) of heart-pounding, hair-raising, creative fun. Campers spend the rest of the time (M-F) with their Traditional Camp friends. (Traditional Camp is included in the Specialty Camp price). All Specialty Campers must be signed-in by 8:30 AM. Some specialty camps run in the afternoon, Monday–Thursday, which means campers may miss Traditional Camp swim time on those days.

Travel Camp is built for kids who want summer to feel like an adventure. Campers spend their days exploring the community through exciting field trips while still enjoying all the fun of traditional camp — games, team challenges, creative projects, and time to hang out with friends back at the Y.

Each week brings new destinations and experiences, giving campers the chance to try things they might not normally get to do on their own. Between trips, counselors lead classic camp activities that keep everyone active, engaged, and part of the group.

Preschool Summer Camp at the Y is designed especially for our youngest campers to explore, learn, and grow in a safe, nurturing environment. Each week is filled with hands-on activities, creative play, outdoor exploration, music, movement, and age-appropriate learning that keeps little minds engaged and active.

Our experienced staff focus on building confidence, social skills, and independence while making sure every child feels supported and included. From arts and crafts to water play and themed discovery days, each camp day balances structured activities with plenty of time for play.
