YMCA Summer Camp at a Glimpse
Summer Camp focuses on the four core values—caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility—that influence everything we do at the Y. Our summer program is centered around educating campers about these values in all environments. We also help campers build self-confidence and independence while challenging them physically, mentally, and emotionally. We emphasize the importance of living a healthy lifestyle, through fun activities to help your child incorporate this concept into their daily lives.
A Typical Day at Camp
At Y Summer Camp, kids ages 3-15 engage in supervised activities that teach core values, conflict resolution, and leadership skills. Every day, campers participate in group games, crafts, camp songs, physical activity, and more, all of which encourages new friendships, self-confidence, teamwork, and growth in your camper’s social-emotional development.
