Summer Day Camp at the Y offers children positive developmental experiences and encourages them to forge bonds with one another and with staff, building confidence through skill-building activities suited to their age. Children experience a sense of achievement through opportunities in the outdoors and are welcomed to a physically and emotionally safe and stimulating environment.

At Summer Day Camp, children will experience new things, develop new skills, and most importantly, have fun! While participating in unique experiences and adventures, they will

build self-esteem, develop interpersonal skills, and make lasting friendships and memories. We take pride in creating an exciting, safe environment that will give your child an unforgettable summer.

We believe that an organized camp experience is a vital component in the development and education of the whole child. Throughout the summer, we feature different themes filled with new activities, experiences, and memories. Children develop strong relationships while enjoying activities like swimming, crafts, physical activity, and more. Whether it’s playing a new recreational activity, learning about science and nature, or exploring their creativity, your child will build confidence and develop friendships that last a lifetime.
