Summer Camp at the Y
Are you ready for an amazing summer of camp? In Activity Central for children ages 5–9 and Tween Camp for children ages 10–12, weekly themes help set the tone for all sorts of fun activities where kids explore, discover and grow. Here's what we've got planned for this year.
Imagination Destination
Magical Campers are immersed in the wonderful world of fairy tales as they enjoy stories and discover illumination, castle designing, wizard code cracking, elf tag and more.
Mission Possible
There is a secret double agent amongst us! Come join us at camp and we’ll combine our best STEM skills to capture the double agent before it’s too late!

Put on your safari hat and grab your binoculars because it’s about to get wild in here! Campers will spend the week exploring and learning about our favorite safari animals—lions, tigers, zebras, and more!
