2021 YMCA Summer Day Camps - Information Coming Soon!

We cannot express to you all enough how much we miss our Y kids and families. The world feels, and is, so different right now - physical distancing and periods of isolation, though necessary as a health and safety measure through COVID-19, take their toll on the social and emotional health of us all, especially our children. 

Know that the Y is doing all we can to provide a positive camp experience for our kids this summer, in the safest and most responsible way possible. Please see our COVID-19 Safety FAQ for details on cleaning protocols, health screenings, altered activities, and more.
