YMCA traditional Summer Day Camps are packed with activities, games and fun. Campers spend the day swimming, creating crafts and art, playing sports like kickball, pickup basketball, and soccer and playing games like gaga ball and capture the flag. Campers spend time inside and outside during the day depending on the weather and activity. Read more about a typical day at YMCA Day Camp.

All campers are encouraged to try everything, to do their best and are led by a team of YMCA youth staff and counselors.

From fun field games to archery and swimming, our counselors use activities and camp experiences to teach values like caring, honesty, respect, responsibility and faith in God – things that last long after summer is over. Camp Kerr is located at the Kerr Family YMCA and is open to campers in rising grades K – 8.

Kindercamp is a half-day summer day camp for our littlest campers. These half-day programs are a great introduction to the structure and rhythm of day camp. Days are filled with songs, games, water play, circle time and crafts. We keep our ratios intentionally low so each camper can have plenty of one-on-one attention and care.

Kindercamp is for potty-trained kids ages 3 - 5 and includes a wide variety of activities and games with a weekly theme. Our staff-to-child ratio is 1:7, and the Y hires energetic staff who are specifically trained to work with young children.
