Summer Day Camp:
Runs in one-week sessions from June –August; ages 5 –12
Our camp components include daily opening and closing assemblies and D.E.A.R.—Drop Everything And Read. Each day, we will celebrate reading by having the entire camp drop everything and read for 20 minutes. Staff and other children will read to the younger children to promote literacy. Campers will log their reading accomplishments in their D.E.A.R. diary to be redeemed at summer's end. Camp sessions include themes, swim time, camp spirit songs, daily time with activity specialists, values time, outside time, family nights at least three times during the summer, field trips, session-end celebrations, camp-wide Olympics and an occasional sleep over.
Specialty Camps:
As another weekly choice for your child, we have created a variety of Specialty Camps that will allow your child to have a fun filled summer! These week long camps provide a specialized experience for your child for five days.
Holiday Camps:
The Mt. Trashmore Family YMCA offers full-day care on most days when school is closed (i.e. holidays, teacher-work days). Special activities or field trips are planned. Fees may apply.

The YMCA is committed to providing programs that build a healthy spirit, mind and body for all. If you and
