Sleepaway or overnight summer camps appeal to many preteens and teens, but the idea is nerve-wracking to many more. Nonetheless, they provide children with an essential opportunity to experience life beyond the comfort and confines of their homes.

The Rocky Run YMCA serves over 500 kids each year during our summer camp season. Camp themes change each year and provide youth throughout the area with the ability to pursue their hobbies, experience new adventures, and more!

At the YMCA, we believe deeply in the power of the classic camp experience to set children on a path towards physical, mental, and emotional well-being for a lifetime. Studies show:
