Discover Summer Camp Fun at the YMCA
For youth entering grades 1st - 6th
YMCA Summer Day Camps empower youth to reach their full potential by fostering a sense of belonging, realizing and celebrating achievement and cultivating positive relationships through engaging sports, games and creative arts.
We Provide Safe, High-Quality And Enriching Experiences For All Youth
Campers spend most of their summer being active outdoors, developing social skills and learning life-long skills like teamwork and problem-solving. Field trips around Central Ohio, learning opportunities about nature in our beautiful park and our different weekly themes are sure to keep your child excited to come back to camp week after week! Our program helps youth minimize summer learning loss and makes learning fun with engaging STEM activities.
Our high-quality YMCA camp counselors, who are role models for our Core Values: Caring, Honesty, Respect and Responsibility, ensure the safety and inclusion of each camper.
ACA Accredited
YMCA Day Camp is accredited by the American Camp Association (ACA), which means we meet or exceed the ACA's standards for camp operation, program quality and health and camper health and safety.
