YMCA
Camps run June 25-August 10, 2018
Few environments are as special as camp, where kids become a community as they learn both how to be more independent and how to contribute to a group as they engage in physical, social and educational activities.
Day camping teaches self-reliance, a love for the outdoors and the development of attitudes and practices that build character and leadership—all amidst the fun of group games, swimming, crafting, talent shows and meaningful relationships.
Our YMCA counselors are dedicated to making sure camp is an amazing experience for every camper. For more information about YMCA summer camps and programs, email Michele Czarnecki [email protected]
