Summer Camp Programs

Gone are the days when day camp meant simply tying knots or making pot holders. Summer Camp programs at the YMCA of Philadelphia & Vicinity are as unique as the campers themselves. We focus on developing the whole child through programs that support children's social , emotional, physical, intellectual and spiritual development. We do this by designing programs that help youth develop communications skills, engage in problem solving, learn through critical thinking  and contribute to designing the programs they participate in each day. The YMCA of Philadelphia & Vicinity also aims  to build self-esteem and young person's developmental assets through our camp programs by focusing a child on their strengths.

YMCA of Philadelphia & Vicinity day camp programs include field trips, swim lessons, sports and activities that help campers discover the importance of living a life full of fitness and nutrition. They also learn about values, good character and leave with lasting memories and new friends.
