Colorful Celebration at YMCA Summer Day Camp

See What A Day At Y Camp Looks Like

  • Held a few times throughout the day, this is when campers build community through greetings, announcements, songs, and skits. It also serves as a smooth transition into Specialty Camp activities and a fun regrouping time afterward.

    Campers run in the outdoor field at the YMCA during game time.
  • Campers spend their day with their Camp Group. It's an age-based group led by a fun and supportive counselor team. From creative crafts to energetic games and team challenges, every day is packed with activities that keep campers learning, laughing, and connecting. Camp Groups are usually organized by age:

    3–4 | 5–6 | 7–8 | 9–10 | 11–12

    Groups may be adjusted slightly based on enrollment.
