Welcome to Summer 2013 with the Ann Arbor YMCA!
This summer, give your child the opportunity to explore nature, try new activities and make lasting friendships at a YMCA summer day camp. Each camp program lasts one or two weeks and campers may sign up for one session or for all ten. Every program, no matter what the theme, instills the four Pillars of the YMCA: Caring, Honesty and Respect and Responsibility through every game and activity.
YMCA Day Camp counselors are carefully selected to be great role models for your child and have all received extensive first aid training, thus ensuring a safe environment for all campers at all times. Your child can have fun exploring all the new programs as well as re-discovering old favorites! We look forward to welcoming you and your child this summer.
