Summer Camp

Summer day camp provides youth with an opportunity to enjoy summer outdoors with friends.  At YMCA camp, we focus on building a sense of achievement – trying new things, building relationships and a community where everyone belongs.

Please note that 5 year olds must have completed Kindergarten as of the end of the 2024-2025 school year to participate in Camp Discovery, Camp Friendship, Camp Forge, Camp Spirit or Camp Unity.

 

We look forward to seeing your child at camp this summer!

***Registration Fee is Non-refundable***
