Summer Day Camp

CCCY 2025 Day Camp Brochure Cover Image Several Kids

The YMCA believes all kids have great potential and deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve. At YMCA day camp kids and teens can develop skills, self-confidence, new friendships and a sense of belonging – all while having tons of fun.

In order to have fun and thrive, kids of all ages need to feel both physically and emotionally safe. When you drop your child off at a camp, you can rest assured that their total well-being will be supported. Safety is always our number one priority! We keep kids healthy and safe while providing enriching experiences. As a leading nonprofit committed to nurturing the potential of youth, the Y has been a leader in providing summer camp for over 130 years. Our experienced and caring staff and volunteers model the positive core Y values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility that help build character.

FIND YOUR JOY, AND SHARE IT!

Y Appeal Year End Social Post 1080x1080 Find Joy KidsAs we near the end of another year, we are filled with hope and optimism. Every day we are reminded of the power of community – whether it’s a child blowing bubbles underwater for the first time, a person running their first 5K, or a teenager realizing the power of volunteering through leadership programs.

These milestones are possible because of the unwavering support from people like you.

The power of the Y—and the power of community—is everyday people supporting each other in creating a better life.

While we celebrate each milestone, we know there is more work to be done. Children, families, and adults continue to need sup­port, and the Y is committed to meeting those needs. But we can’t do it alone. We need caring neighbors like you.

With the magic of the giving season upon us, we ask you to find your joy and share it with others. Your support can mean the world to your neighbors in need.

Your gift will make a meaningful difference in so many lives.
