YOUTH SUMMER DAY CAMP

Summer Camp provides an exciting, safe community for children ages 5-12 (children must have completed Kindergarten) to build self-esteem, develop interpersonal skills and make lasting friendships and memories.

Camp, like many Y programs, is about learning skills, developing character, and making friends. Our programs include a focus on caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility in all activities. Kids have fun while trained counselors guide them through daily schedules that nurture their spirits, challenge their minds, and strengthen their bodies. Weekly themes keep kids engaged while learning about themselves and the world around them.

COUNSELORS IN TRAINING (CIT)

Youth ages 13-15 can participate in Summer Camp as CITs, assisting staff with younger children and building leadership skills. The CIT program gives teens age-appropriate challenges that help build skills, confidence and capacity for working with people of all ages.
