Today, kids are enjoying summer camp in greater numbers than ever, but for most of them camp has become more than just fun and games.  It has become a learning adventure, often helping to bridge the gap between childhood and adulthood with programs designed to build self-esteem, promote leadership skills, instill values, encourage friendships and stretch the imaginations of children.  In fact, leaders in the child development field recognize the camp experience as an essential part of growing up.

Summer camp can offer a unique combination of benefits: a structured and protective environment that kids can depend on, along with the freedom to grow and develop at their own pace.  Camp counselors serve as positive role models and spend lots of time listening to, talking with, and encouraging children in their growth.

Summer Day Camp Staff

During the spring, our professional staff takes significant time in selecting, hiring and training a group of staff to serve during summer day camp. Working day camp is a difficult, but fun and rewarding job. The days get very long and hot, but the impact the staff has on the campers remains important. So, we take great pride in developing the staff and creating a great summer experience for all campers.

We invite you to meet the Summer Day Camp Staff ! Click here for a photo page.

Yes, those are crazy names, but ask any day camper about the staff and they will call them by their 'camp name'.

Day Camp Fun!

The day camp group each camper is assigned to is an important part of camp.

Contacting Summer Camp

We understand that parents will want and need to speak to camp staff during the summer. While we have YMCA Staff answering our phones, during parts of the day, day camp staff just cannot get to the phone. You are welcomed to leave a voice message at one of our extensions. We will periodically check those voice mailboxes and return calls.

Please limit any calls to staff that require a staff member to leave the campers to urgent calls. And please be patient as we serve your campers and try to get to administrative tasks during certain times of the day.

You can also e-mail us. The e-mail link below will actually reach several camp administrative staff members. Someone will respond just as soon as possible.
