Defining fun is easy at the YMCA because that’s what our camp is all about. The camp day also concentrates on helping children develop emotionally, socially and physically. At the YMCA, children get the opportunity to explore the outdoors, learn new skills, and interact with other children in a caring, supervised environment.

When parents leave their children in the care of others, it is important for them to know that their children will be safe and supervised. At the YMCA, we select our staff members very carefully and all staff members go through an extensive training program. We do not “baby sit. We teach and encourage children, helping them grow in mature self-esteem and social confidence.
