About Our Summer Camp Program
Day camp at the YMCA is like a home away from home, where kids laugh, learn, explore and grow in the outdoors, while creating memories and friendships that last a lifetime. At our summer day camps, kids can make friends, explore their interests, and spend their summer in a safe, nurturing environment.
- For children ages 5*–12 (*Campers must have completed kindergarten)
- Dedicated, well-trained camp counselors

- Financial assistance is available for those who qualify
- 1:18 Staff to child ratio
Our Curriculum
Our school age program offers fun weekly themes that align with Ohio’s K-12 state standards. We use the Second Step curriculum. It is a research-based program specifically designed to meet the needs of our out-of-school time (OST) programs. Built on the foundation of our trusted Social Emotional Learning (SEL) programs, this curriculum helps teach social-emotional skills like community-building, empathy, kindness, and growth mindset in our youth.
The YMCA youth summer learning experience includes activities in the following areas:
- Arts & humanities
- Character development
- Large motor & fitness
- Literacy
- Science and Math
- STEM
- Nutrition
- Service-Learning Projects
