YMCA Summer Day Camp

“Phew… my kids come home exhausted—in the best way!”

The YMCA does such an amazing job keeping them active and on the go. From swimming and skating to bowling and more, there’s always something fun happening! As a working mom, it gives me such peace of mind knowing they’re not only having a blast but staying busy all day. I couldn’t ask for a better summer solution!
— Happy YMCA Camp Mom

Each week at camp is packed with exciting activities designed to match our weekly themes—keeping every day fresh and fun! Campers will enjoy a wide variety of experiences, from arts & crafts, sports, and games to hands-on STEM projects, character-building activities, and of course, the fan-favorite water slide.

Our dedicated coordinators carefully plan a well-rounded schedule that balances learning and play, helping campers grow, explore, and thrive all summer long.
