We offer 3 weeks of camp from June 13 to July 1 for ages 5-12. Camp hours are from 9 am to 4 pm.
In addition, we offer Fun Club, the Y's Before & After Camp Care, which 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.
Arts & Humanities: Ages 5-12
Our arts & humanities camps encourage personal expression and the freedom to create and provide new experiences for kids. Creativity abounds at the Y. Camp size may be smaller and maybe offered either indoors or outdoors based on the specific interest. From 9 am - noon, campers participate in their special interest camp. From noon - 4 pm, campers participate in traditional camp activities.
Registrations must be completed by the Wednesday prior to the camp start date for the week. Registrations made after this date will acquire a $10 late fee.
Sports Camps: Ages 5-12
Campers spend their day immersed in a specific sport learning fundamental skills and then applying those skills in a game setting. The focus is on introducing and/or improving skills for each sport with an emphasis on individual skill development, teamwork, and building self-confidence in an environment that encourages having fun and making friends.
Registrations must be completed by the Wednesday prior to the camp start date for the week. Registrations made after this date will acquire a $10 late fee.
