Fun. Delivered fresh daily.

Our YMCA summer day camp program will give you peace of mind while you are at work. This program will assure the learning, fun and character-building experienced during the school year continues into the summer months. The activities are designed to keep your child’s mind and body active while nurturing the YMCA’s core values: caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility. Summer Day Camp has a number of unique features that make it an outstanding experience for those boys and girls attending. We offer a structured schedule of activities in which every child (ages 6-14) are able to participate. These activities include sports and recreation, arts and crafts, swimming, field trips, academic enrichment and exploring nature. The children also take part in traditional activities appropriate for their respective age levels.

We are excited to be able to offer day camp this summer, beginning on Monday, June1, 2026.  We have so many fun things in store!
