Traditional Camp (Ages 5-12)
Offered throughout the entire summer, these camps are designed for a wide variety of conventional interests that may include arts & crafts, group games, nature exploration, swimming, 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 grade level or age.
Fun Club Before & After Camp Care (Ages 5-12)
Fun Club, the Y's Before & After Camp Care, is available as an add-on to all camps at an additional fee. Fun Club allows campers to arrive as early as 6:30 am and/or stay as late as 6 pm. Fun Club is available for campers ages 5-12.
Counselor-in-Training (Ages 14-16)
The Counselor-in-Training (CIT) program at the RiverChase YMCA offers teens ages 14-16 the opportunity to gain practical experience working with campers while cultivating essential skills and knowledge. The program's primary goal is to empower teens with leadership abilities that extend to their school, home, and community life.
Families interested in the CIT program should submit their applications by April 12, 2024. Once an application is received, the Camp Director will contact the applicant to arrange an interview and screening, finalizing the selection process. It's important to note that due to limited space, not all interviewed applicants will be selected.
Program Requirements:
Time Period: Minimum of 4 Weeks
Hours: 8:45 am-4 pm
Fee: $45 per week

When you register online for Summer Day Camp, indicate any needs your child may have and the branch will email you more information and the required forms.
Key Points to Note:
- Registrations are processed based on the order of receipt at the branch and subsequently by the organization's Inclusion & Adaptive Support Services department
- To avoid delay in the registration process, fully complete and provide all requested documents.
- Please allow at least two weeks for processing, especially during peak Summer Day Camp enrollment times.
