Exciting, Educational Summer Adventures
For youth entering grades K-6th
YMCA Summer Enrichment Camps empower youth to reach their full potential by fostering a sense of belonging, realizing and celebrating achievement and cultivating positive relationships through engaging themed activities.
Our program helps youth minimize summer learning loss through science and art projects, reading, math and historical and cultural enrichment. Campers spend plenty of time exploring the great outdoors and enjoy exciting field trips around Central Ohio.
Our high-quality YMCA Child Care staff leads our camp, role models our core values (Caring, Honesty, Respect and Responsibility) and ensures the safety and inclusion of each camper.
