KIDVENTURE DAY CAMP (AGES 5-8)

KidVenture Day Camp is designed with a wide range of activities guaranteed to expand your child’s horizons. Kids have fun while making new friends, developing new skills, learning core values, building self-confidence, appreciating team work and growing in self-reliance.  During the course of a session, campers will participate in a variety of experiences both in- and outdoors based on weekly themes.  Swimming, arts and crafts, and field trips are also offered each week.   KidVenture Day Camp is located at the Ann Arbor YMCA, with the kid-friendly Atlantis Room as its home base.

Schedule: Camp runs from 8:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m. A pre/post-care option from 7:30–8:30 a.m. and 4:30–6:00 p.m. is available for an additional fee.

PRE- AND POST CARE

Pre- and post care gives parents the option of extra care at the YMCA. This is an informal time when children are supervised while they play a variety of self-directed games and activities. The fee includes both pre-and post care, regardless of

which options are used or how many days are used. Please note that Pre and Post care is not available for Camp Birkett. 

Schedule: Monday–Friday, 7:30-8:30 a.m. and 4:30–6:00 p.m.

HALF-DAY CAMPS

 Camp Caboodle (Ages 9-11)

Not sure what to do with the camper who is too old for some camps and too young for others?  This half-day option, geared specifically towards our older participants, provides age-appropriate activities that campers will enjoy with other kids their age.  This half day option allows for a full day of camp when combined with one of our afternoon specialty camps. Counselors ensure children make proper transitions between camps. Campers spend time indoors and outdoors as counselors lead a wide variety of activities each day, including arts and crafts, games, sports, and walking field trips.

Schedule: Monday–Friday, 8:30 a.m.– 12:30 p.m.
