Summer Day Camp at the Four Rivers Family YMCA

Camps at the Y offer kids countless opportunities to laugh, learn, lead and make lasting friendships!

Our proven programs and trained counselors deliver meaningful, memorable experiences that keep kids coming back year after year. Our 2024 schedule will be announced soon and will replace our 2023 schedule that appears below.

It’s never too early to begin thinking about summer camp!

Traditional (Ages 6-12)

Offered throughout the entire summer, these camps are designed for various conventional interests, including arts & crafts, group games, nature exploration, swimming, field trips, and more. Camps are themed weekly. Most camp activities are held outdoors with indoor activities provided based on the day and theme. Day campers are divided into groups by the grade level they are entering in the fall.

Registrations must be completed by the Wednesday before the camp start date for the week. Registrations made after this date will acquire a $10 late fee.

Counselor in Training (Ages 14-17)

Counselors in Training (CITs) receive first-hand experience working with campers and the opportunity to cultivate skills and knowledge. The goal of the program is to help teens acquire leadership skills that can be used at school, home and in the community.

Interested CIT families need to submit their application by May 1, 2023. Once an application is received, the Camp Director will contact the applicant and schedule a time for the interview and screening to finalize the selection process. *Please note that not everyone interviewed will be selected for the program* Space is limited.
