YMCA Day Camp

A summer of fun, a lifetime of memories.

 

With the YMCA, everyone can afford to keep their kids healthy and safe this summer!

The YMCA of Metropolitan Chicago is able to provide a summer day camp experience for all families, regardless of their ability to pay. For more information on financial assistance and scholarships, contact your local center.

 

We provide children with summer adventures that promote a healthy spirit, mind and body. Children spend time indoors and outdoors as experienced staff lead campers in a wide variety of activities each day, including arts and crafts, games, skits and songs, sports, instructional/recreational swimming and weekly off-site field trips. In addition, we continue to integrate our healthy kid’s curriculum into our day camp programs. Children participate in weekly interactive workshops with doctors, dentists, nutritionists and athletes to gain basic knowledge on how to incorporate proper nutrition, exercise and positive self images into their everyday lives.

 

Our day camps are ACA accredited, which means that we maintain the highest standards regarding program quality. We believe the most important elements of a positive day camp experience are the safety and well-being of your child.

 

Space is limited—register early! Most camp sessions begin in early June and run through late August, Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m., with extended care offered before and after regular camp hours. Contact your local center for more information.
