Great Summers Start Here
Youth Summer Day Camp 2021
This summer, YMCA locations throughout the East Bay will host a Discovery Camp Program for children entering grades K-6.
Camps will run Monday - Friday, and campers will engage in games and activities that center around science, mathematics, and reading to minimize summer learning loss. Each camp week includes songs, skits, themed activities, and will culminate with a grand-finale “carnival” on Friday with relay races, contests, water games, and creative games they've prepared throughout the week!
You can find everything you need to know, including camp hours, session dates & rates, weekly themes, policies & procedures, and much more in this year's Summer Day Camp Brochure!
Program details will vary based on camp location, so please choose the right brochure for your area!
