TRADITIONAL CAMP
Ages 5 -12 | $285/week
Traditional Camp provides structured, age-based programming that keeps campers active, supported, and engaged all week long. With arts and crafts, group games, character development, weekly swimming, and local field trips or special guest experiences, each day is intentionally designed for growth and fun. Campers are divided into age groups for safety and meaningful engagement, while gathering together daily for assemblies that celebrate traditional camp songs, community skits, and camper-of-the-week achievements. By the end of the week, campers leave with stronger confidence, new friendships, and stories to share.

GIVE YOUR CHILD A SUMMER TO REMEMBER!
YMCA Summer Day Camp is packed with weekly adventures, creative projects, outdoor play, and new friendships; led by caring staff parents trust. Financial assistance is available and families pay as little as $50 per week (per child).
From our 2025 Parent Surveys:
"Mr. Hunter and the other staff members are great! Mr. Hunter is always really good at communicating and my kids love him."
"The whole YMCA team was super great and my son adored them. A special thanks to staff member Monte who taught them D&D!"
"Our regular daycare closed so the YMCA camp came in clutch. My two girls attended only two weeks all summer - weeks 5 and 9. They did enjoy their time both weeks - though I think they'd have enjoyed it more if we were able to attend more than the two weeks."
"My child really enjoys working on the skits for the end of the week."
"Staff was willing to work with me and my special needs child to make sure he was included and had fun and a good experience."
"My granddaughters loved everything about camp. Their only question to me was could they go back next summer!"
"He loves being able to make new friends and go on adventures with them. The snack and drink choices are great. He mostly feels loved and accepted by his peers"
