Summer Day Camp
Led by experienced staff, summer day camp helps banish boredom and offers a multitude of other benefits while also allowing kids to return home each afternoon.
Unplug From Technology
Y camps give kids a chance to forget about their tablets, phones and video games, and find new passions: science, art, sports and fitness, culture, healthy cooking, and more.
Discover Their Potential
Camp provides opportunities for kids to step out of their comfort zone and exposes them to new activities and experiences. Activities and field trips give campers at the Y the opportunity to try different things and build confidence.
Get Outside
Giving kids opportunities to get outside and participate in physical activities, explore nature and work together as a team helps them grow and keeps them active.
