Join us for Winter Break Camp!

Play. Grow. Thrive.

Winter Break Camp is a chance for children ages 5 to 12 to create endless memories. We look forward to helping campers learn and grow as they unplug from screen time to develop new skills, create friendships, and explore personal interests and more.

At the YMCA Day Camp, the core values are the cornerstones of character development. Campers are encouraged to treat one another with dignity and we strive to celebrate positive actions by learning about growth through caring, respect, honesty, responsibility, inclusiveness, health and advocacy.

Day Camp activities will take place both outdoors and indoors allowing children to participate in a variety of activities.

  • Active games

  • Creative activities

  • Community and Team building activities

  • Outdoor discovery

  • Personal character development

  • Theme Based Programming
