Kindercamp

Kindercamp is an exciting time for campers ages three to five that complements our school-year Preschool program. Campers days are filled with a variety of activities for this age group. Kindercamp provides a developmentally appropriate, hands-on learning environment that is implemented through the use of centers. In addition, the program is enriched with water play, sports, and movements!

“The YMCA Summer camp has been a place where my kids have been going to for a number of years.  They have been there for me in my time of need, and they provide a wonderful outlet for the kids during the summer instead of being stuck in a home. There is always something to do and they provide counselors that the kids can look up and emulate when they get older.  There is advancement opportunity for campers, and they can go from camper, to junior LIT, to LIT, and finally to counselor.  I think it’s a great program that allows each child something to look forward to in the future.”
