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 will excite and engage your child and give them a summer of adventure. Whether learning a new sport, exploring arts and culture or exploring New York City, YMCA Summer Camps offer an opportunity to build lifelong memories and a feeling of community that will last beyond the summer. “She loves camp and doesn’t want to leave at the end of the day. I feel good knowing she is safe and happy while I am at work” - YMCA Day Camp Parent
Each of our camps is accredited by the American Camping Association (ACA) and our staff go through rigorous training to ensure the safety and positive experience of each child.

SUMMER DAY CAMP STATEN ISLAND YMCA SUMMER DAY CAMP AT POUCH CAMP Ages 5-13 Kindercamp at our Pouch Camp location is designed for five year old children entering Kindergarten in September 2014. It is designed to support the transition to kindergarten by building social and emotional skills in a fun and supportive environment. Included in the program are instructional swimming, local outings and trips, indoor and outdoor group play activities and theme-based arts and crafts. This program will focus on enhancing the social skills and teamwork of young children. Each group will participate in one field trip by bus each session. Traditional Day Campers at our Pouch Camp location (ages 6-11) will engage in activities that will enhance their social and emotional skills, help keep their academics on track, keep them physically active and challenge them to learn new things every day. They will have the opportunity to meet new friends and take exciting trips throughout New York City. Campers will participate in a wide range of sports, instructional swimming, arts and crafts, and weekly themed days such as Crazy Hat Day. They will engage in environmental science and more. Traditional day campers will be divided into age groups with children no more than 1-2 years apart in age. Day camp activities are designed to help children retain and build upon the academic skills they have developed during the school year. Research has shown that children can lose a half grade of learning over the summer months. The YMCA offers programs such as Book of the Week which gives children the opportunity to read a book as a camp group and participate in related discussion. Journaling helps children to retain writing skills through writing exercises that connect with their camp experiences. Field trips are selected to maximize educational enrichment and include trips to local museums and science centers. We also offer a Middie Camp program at our Pouch Camp location for students currently enrolled in middle school to build skills, confidence and
