YMCA Summer Day Camps offer kids a chance to unplug and safely explore places, activities, and ideas. At YMCA Day Camp, children discover new talents, new interests, and make new friends.

Our Day Camps are packed with activities, games, and fun. Campers spend the day swimming; creating crafts and art; playing sports like kickball, pickup basketball, and soccer; and playing games like gaga ball and capture the flag. Camps include inside and outside activities.

YMCA Sports Camps offer kids a full summer of basketball, soccer, flag football, baseball, or a mix of all sports. Our Sports Day Camps are led by high school and collegeaged students who play the sport themselves and who have a passion for coaching kids and being excellent role models.

All campers are encouraged to try everything led by a team of YMCA youth staff and counselors. Activities are tailored to each age group.

Parents have trusted YMCA camps for generations because our caring, trained staff foster skill development, inclusion, and a fun environment.
