YMCA Summer Camps
Whether it's through singing or swimming, nature hikes or computer classes, counselors at YMCA camps have led kids in developing good values - and having fun - for more than 100 summers!
Although they may be structured differently, YMCA day and overnight resident camps provide the same outcome: Kids have fun while they learn how to make new friends, build new skills and grow in self-reliance. YMCA camps use a natural setting to teach youth about the wonders of the world around them and how they can take good care of it.
For kids, YMCA camp is a fun way to enjoy the summer. For moms and dads, it's a way to give their children a positive developmental experience. And for parents who work outside the home, Y camp also serves as summer child care.
