Campers will explore the history, culture and people of Western United States. Come prepared for an adventure. Expect to dress like a western, try line dancing at a hoe down and more.

From game shows, breakdancing, and stylish clothes; campers will relive the 80’s, 90’s and early 2000’s.

Get ready for the YMCA 2017 Olympics. Campers will compete in a variety of field and indoor activities. Broadcasting their athletic talents and bringing home the gold medal!

Campers must decide if they have the guts & determination to face their fears while outpacing the competition.

From trick roping in Texas; hula in Hawaii; waddling like a penguin in Alaska and fashion week in New York, each day campers can look forward to visiting a new state of the USA.

What better way to enjoy the warm summer than playing in the water! This week we will enjoy water play fun and also look at all the ways we use water.

Calling all STARS! Let your inner performer shine through acting games, magic, singing, and dancing. We will build confidence and have fun! Campers can design their own super-logos, masks, and more or come dressed in their favorite superhero costume.

Enjoy a week full of sports! Learn sportsmanship, strategies, and how to play as a team. Even support your favorite teams (football, baseball, basketball etc.) by wearing your gear.
