Summer is a time for kids to have fun! It’s also a chance to learn and grow. Our camp programs offer
an opportunity for kids ages 5 to 17 to learn about themselves, grow in self-confidence and make
new friends in a safe and caring environment. From day camps that get kids outside and having
fun to overnight camps that help foster independence and teamwork, the YMCA has something for
everyone. Each camp is designed to help kids reach their potential!
Outdoor Adventure Day Camp (ages 5 - 12)
These camps provide a ton of fun for action-focused kids who love the outdoors.
Campers participate in a variety of land- and water-based activities such as
geocaching, canoeing, stand up paddle boarding, sports, forest games and arts &
crafts. Campers also have the option to stay overnight at camp one day of the week!
*please note, activities vary depending on location
Change Your World Project (ages 12 - 15)
Calling all change-makers! This project is for youth who are passionate about
making a difference in their community. Participants will have the opportunity to
meet leaders who are making a positive impact on their community, and execute
their own service project where they will gain skills in event planning and peer
leadership.
