Summer Day Camp

The Grosse Pointe Yacht Club Summer Day Camp offers a unique opportunity for children to spend their summer exploring their endless curiosity.

June - August

Campers from 4-12 years old attend a new entertainment theme each week with coinciding daily crafts and activities led by energetic counselors.

In addition to crafts, campers swim, attend tennis lessons, bowl, take boat rides, and play on the playground and splash pad. In addition, each week has a special event planned, such as science shows, pony rides, petting zoos, fitness classes, and magic shows. Another highlight of day camp is the cooking classes held by the Grosse Pointe Yacht Club’s Executive Chef, Eric Voigt, and his incredible team, providing daily lunches and snacks for campers. According to camper Marnie Schaden, the meals at camp are “epic.”

One of the most treasured traditions of the Summer Day Camp is the celebration of holidays. A fan favorite is always trick-or-treating around the club, where each department contributes to decorating, playing music, passing out treats, and sharing smiles and laughter. The campers’ joy radiates throughout the club, reminding us all of those simpler times of childhood summers. Other favorites are the Christmas in July celebration, Ice Cream Socials, and the highly anticipated Summer Olympics to end the season on a high note!

While camp is full of adventurous games and activities, the heart of the camp is undoubtedly the relationships formed between the campers. This enriching program is perfect for children to unwind and form authentic friendships. With a picturesque landscape, state-of-the-art facilities, and a passionate staff, children create memories that last for many years at the Grosse Pointe Yacht Club Summer Day Camp. In the words of camper, Emmalyn Mason, “Camp is a 10/10!”
