Games Galore
The YMCA prides itself on our extensive list of sports, games, and relays to make staying active fun! Throughout the summer, you will get to play some old favorites of FourSquare, Water Relays and Kickball and learn what Underwater Tag and Diamond Hunt has in store for you.

YMCA Camp Spirit
Each week you will invent a camp name for yourself and your group, try to out cheer the other groups in team competitions, and learn camp songs. This is just a few of the endless team building events that will take place through the summer. Join in the fun and make friends and memories that last a lifetime!

Art Exploration
Take a chance and express your creative side! Each week will bring new challenges as you will get to learn several different mediums of the arts including theatre, painting, sculpting, and photography. Don't forget about nature! Nature is able to create art by itself and we will try to find it!

Outdoor Adventure
The YMCA has a history and knowledge of the great outdoors and we are inviting you to explore it with us. Learn how to pitch tents, which side of the tree moss grows on, and how to cook food over an open campfire. By the end of summer you will have several adventures to share with your classmates at school!
