Welcome to YMCA Summer Camp – it’s going to be the summer to remember!
Without a doubt, our summer camp will be an experience that your child won’t want to miss. Our camps give your child the opportunity to explore and learn in a caring and fun environment.

We work year-round to develop the best summer camp programs, recruit an energetic staff to deliver the Y Character Values of Caring, Honesty, Respect, and Responsibility, and prepare for all the excitement that summer camp brings.

You can choose from a variety of camp experiences such as:
Day Camp, Sports Camp, Quest Camps, Little Explorers, Cooking, Art, Fishing, Basketball, Dance, Cheerleading, and Leaders In Training Camp, to name a few. Your child will also enjoy swimming, theme weeks and day trips, which round out their time at camp.
