Campers are encouraged to be creative, expressive and learn new skills. Summer learning activities offer fun way for campers to read and learn over the summer months. All YMCA Day Camps are licensed by the NYC Department of Health and Accredited by the American &DPSLQJ$VVRFLDWLRQ$&$ YMCA Summer Camp helps campers ages 5 - 12 years old and teens ages 15-16 years old grow mentally and physically by participating in challenging activities in both small and large group settings under the supervision of a caring and well trained staff.
SUMMER LEARNING To succeed in school and life, children and young adults need ongoing opportunities to learn and practice essential skills. This is especially true during the summer months when children lose much of what they learn during the school year. YMCA of Greater New York Day Camps provide high-quality summer learning initiatives that give children a variety of ways to improve reading and math skills and explore music, drama, art and sports. Through fun, themed curriculum that incorporates key academic components, children will practice and further their academic skills, learn to plan and create projects, learn teamwork and develop new skills. To inspire reading, our program will provide books recommended by the Department of Education for summer reading.
OUR CAMP LOCATIONS The Chinatown YMCA Summer Day Camp operates out of 273 Bowery and 100 Hester Street. We also use offsite facilities such as local parks and schools to conduct Day Camp. Our Summer Sleepaway Camp is for boys and girls ages 6-16 from all over the world and is located PLOHVIURP1<&LQ+XJXHQRW1<7KHUHDUHWZRYLOODJHV0F$OLVWHU$JHVDQG7DOFRWW WKDWDUHORFDWHGRQRXUDFUHSURSHUW\
