Grades 6–8
Our Middle School Day Camps are designed specifically for rising 6th–8th graders who are ready for more independence, bigger challenges, and next-level fun.
From our unique Leaders in Training (LIT) program to uniquely themed camps like Jr. Lifeguard and Intro to Water Polo, each YMCA Family Center offers engaging, age-appropriate experiences that keep middle schoolers active, connected, and inspired all summer long. Campers enjoy access to classic YMCA amenities, hands-on activities, team-building opportunities, and plenty of moments to set and achieve their own #SummerGoals.
At the Y, middle schoolers don’t just stay busy. They build confidence, discover new interests, strengthen friendships, and develop skills that carry with them long after summer ends.
