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! Specialty camps are week long camps that will provide a specialized half-day camp experience for your child for five days. Extended care is available at some locations.

Teens can be a part of the YMCA summer experience too. Several branches offer teen programs throughout the summer. Leadership programs, travel camps, sports programs, and more are available to ensure your teen has a fun and rewarding summer.

Counselor-In-Leadership-Training (C.I.L.T.) is a full-day program designed to teach enthusiastic young adults leadership skills and the fundamentals of working with children. Candidates must submit an application. Once selected, the teen will spend part of the day in the classroom learning skills such as first aid and child development, and part of the day with their mentoring counselor as a counselor-in-training. This program is for youth ages 14-15 who are attending high school.

Camp Red Feather is fully licensed by the Commonwealth of Virginia as a child day care program. Contact the Norfolk Family YMCA at (757) 622-9622 to register or for more information.
