Welcome to YMCA Summer Camps In 1885, the YMCA helped to invent summer camp to provide children with positive and fun experiences that build confidence and new friendships. YMCA camp staff have served as positive role models for generations of campers and helped build future leaders. The centerpiece of YMCA camps are activities that excite and engage your child, giving them a summer filled with fun and adventure. Whether learning a new sport, discovering arts and culture or exploring the best of New York City, YMCA Summer Camps offer an opportunity to build wonderful lifelong memories and a feeling of community that will last beyond the summer. Each of our camps is accredited by the American Camp Association (ACA) and our staff go through rigorous training to ensure the safety and positive experience of each child.

WHY THREE PRICES? New York YMCA Camp realizes that families have differing abilities to pay, so we offer a 3-tier pricing program. This is strictly an honor system; select the fee you feel is appropriate to what you can pay. The program is voluntary, and in no way influences the experience children receive. TIER 1 Is the actual cost of camp for a child to participate TIER 2 Is our partially subsidized fee for temporary or minor financial need TIER 3 Is our heavily subsidized fee for those in need of more financial assistance We also offer need-based financial assistance.
