Discover Y Day Camp

Discover Y Day Camp is for children entering 1st-6th grade. The Y’s day camp program offers a safe, positive, diverse environment where children gain confidence and build self-esteem while enjoying a fun-filled summer at the Y. Our program introduces campers to a variety of challenging and exciting activities that will strengthen their appreciation for teamwork and personal accomplishment. The strength of our camp stems from our groups, experienced staff, and dedication to enriching the lives of children.
