Best Summer Ever

To deliver on the Y’s commitment to empowering the potential of every child, our program helps campers discover what they are passionate about, form healthy relationships, and obtain a sense of belonging.

Summer camp at the Y invites youth to be inspired through creative play, field trips, sports, and more. It is an opportunity for young people to stay engaged socially and academically.

The Y’s door is open to all, regardless of age, ability, faith, gender, or income, will have the opportunity to experience camp. The Y offers financial assistance to families who may otherwise not be able to afford to send their child to camp.

Tips for Y Summer Day Camp

 

All our outdoor camps are 100% outdoors. Campers meet outside and spend the day rotating through outdoor activities. The safety of our staff and kids are important to us. We will have water available and have downtime to give the campers a break. We ask that you pack a refillable water bottle for your child. All outdoor camps will swim weekly, you will be notified of your camper’s swim day. In the event of inclement weather, we will bring the campers into the branch until the weather passes.

If your child is not used to being outdoors or if you have concerns about being outside for this length of time, we encourage you to look at one of our indoor camps.
