Welcome to Y summer day camp where kids activate their sense of adventure and expand the limits of their imagination. Every day is an opportunity for campers to make new friends and explore the endless possibilities for fun. When kids find new passions, they find their Y.
Here you will find information to help make the most of your child's camp experience. Be sure to check out all the helpful hints and important information below and in our downloadable 2023 Family Guide handbook.
We know planning for camp can be challenging so we have provided a handy list of essential items to bring (and what not to bring) to make it easier for families!
A healthy lunch is key to keeping campers energized throughout the day so we have provided some recommended foods to pack for lunch. Plus, the snacks are on us!
