Our camps offer a variety of experiences for children of all ages and abilities, with each camp offering safe and supervised fun provided by a caring, responsible staff. Each child gains something different at camp: making new friends, learning how to swim, self-confidence, independence, and leadership—skills that last far beyond camp. Whether it’s your child’s first camp experience through Camp Mini, the traditional summer camp fun at Camp Y-Ki, or an action-packed summer with Sports Camp, each of our camps provide an environment where campers are encouraged to grow, have fun, and make those memories that will last a lifetime.

2021 Dates:
  • 6/21 – 8/13

Camp Mini

Camp Mini

Your child’s first summer camp experience is a special one.

The YMCA’s Camp Mini provides a safe, nurturing, and age-appropriate environment for children ages 3-5 (children must be in Pre-K and potty trained). Camp Mini offers creative learning, recreational, and social experiences for our campers, who enjoy activities designed to teach new skills as well as provide lots of fun! Held at the Y, Camp Mini provides a safe and comfortable camp experience for children to play, grow, and make friends.

Camp Activities Include: Bouncing Bears, Arts & Crafts, Music, Outdoor Sports & Playground Time, Swimming Lessons & Free Swim, Theme Weeks, and Special Event Days.

Camp Y-Ki

Camp Y-Ki

Swimming, archery, arts and crafts, sports, nature, camp songs, outdoor adventure, and special events… the traditional summer camp experience of Camp Y-Ki provides kids with the fun, friends, and personal growth that only summer camp can provide.

Held at Kiwanis Park, Camp Y-Ki is an exciting outdoor camp experience for school-age children, offering a variety of activities which help campers build self-esteem, confidence, independence and responsibility – all while enjoying outdoor summertime fun with friends.

Sports Camp

Sports Camp

We are excited to offer a new Sports Camp program, blending athletics and wellness together. Sessions are one week long, with each session focusing on a specific sport such as football, basketball, soccer, lacrosse, baseball, and more.

A typical day at our new Sports Camp will include a high-energy morning of skills and drills specific to the session’s sport, swim training where your camper will learn stroke development or learn how to swim. In the afternoon, campers will have lunch and end the day with a mindfulness activity of their choice, including art, chess, STEM, yoga, and more!

  • Session 2 (Soccer): June 28 – July 2
  • Session 3 (Lacrosse): July 5 – July 9

Synchronized Swimming Camp

Synchronized Swimming Camp

Synchronized swimming is the perfect combination of dance, gymnastics, music, and water! If your child enjoys any of those activities, they will love synchronized swimming. The two-week sessions will introduce your child to the sport while enhancing their flexibility, endurance, and overall comfort in the water. Basic synchronized swimming skills are taught along with a routine that is choreographed to music that is heard under the water as well as above.
