Todays Camper, Tomorrow's Changemaker!
Summer is a time for kids to be kids. And Y day camp is the place!
Keep an eye out for Summer Camp information coming February 2024!
Our Camp Experience
With more than 100 years of camping experience, YMCA camps are a safe and nurturing place where children build self esteem, leadership skills, and a sense of responsibility for themselves and the world around them.
Our Commitment
Your child will find the confidence for creative self-expression through songs, art, physical activities, new friendships, and new adventures. We offer more than just nonstop fun. Your child will learn how to apply time, talent, and energy toward a caring, honest, respectful, and responsible life.
Our Leaders
We are caring, competent, and experienced. Our training includes camp safety, activity planning, CPR, First Aid, and more, making your child’s experience both safe and fun.
My son was very anxious about attending camp, and after the first day he informed us that he “Loves it!” Now, when I wake him up in the morning, he’ll ask if it’s a camp day. When I tell him it is, there’s a loud “yes!” with a fist pump. Thank you for making camp a good place to be.
Camp Registration Information
Age Limitations
Children younger than 6 years old will be permitted to attend camp ONLY if they have completed a year of Kindergarten/TK. Please refer to each camp for more specific age requirements.
Registration and Membership
Everyone is welcome to participate in YMCA camps! If you are not currently a member, there is a $40 Program Membership fee in order to participate in camps. This fee entitles your camper to an individual program membership and is good for one calendar year. It also entitles you to discounts on other YMCA programs.
Camper Health Information
All camper Health History & Medical Release forms are due on the FIRST day of camp. Please turn them in at the camp site your child is attending. Due to American Camp Association regulations, a copy of your child’s immunization record is required. Also, to best serve your child, please inform our staff of any allergies or special health conditions that may exist.

The YMCA offers reduced rates for income-eligible families who wish to participate in our camping programs. Eligibility forms must be completed & approved prior to enrollment. Please allow 7-10 days for this process. To apply or for more information please email ycampinfo@scfymca.org.
