Explore. Learn. Grow.

Summer means lots of time in the great outdoors, making memories with friends old and new, learning and trying new things, and having a blast at camp! This year is no different. Day Camp at YMCA Camp Campbell will offer your child the chance to hike, participate in group games and sports, swim in the pool, tie-dye and more! Day Camp is centered around making new friends and having an incredible week of staff led activities.

Day camp offers your child adventures, outdoor exploration, and the chance to make friends while developing new skills. Campers will exercise their independence and decision-making skills while learning caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.
