Grades K–5
Campers will enjoy our interactive curriculum that includes indoor and outdoor games, sports, character development, reading, and more!
Activities for Elementary Day Camp also include weekly field trips, on-site guests, nature activities, and weekly family events. Campers will learn the YMCA values of caring, honesty, respect, responsibility, and faith through camp themes that change each week. If your child loves to play, learn, make new friends, and do something exciting each week, they belong at our camps!
