Why YMCA Summer Day Camp? 

When your child attends a YMCA summer camp, 

you’re not just dropping off your child for a day 

of fun activities, you’re tapping into an expert 

summer camp resource committed to providing 

a high-quality, age-appropriate experience. 

At the YMCA, we are passionate about 

quality and safety. Parents can enjoy 

peace of mind that their child is 

participating in meaningful activities 

and experiences that align with their 

needs and abilities. 

Welcome to YMCA Day Camp! 

Hello families! Whether this is your first summer at the 

Morrison Family YMCA summer camp or your fifth, we offer 

a unique experience for your child including a wide variety 

of summer camps such as cooking, dance, sports, art and 

outdoor adventure. Full-day and half-day options are 

available to mix and match your child’s camp schedule to 

fit the needs of your family. 

Please take time to browse our guide, check out our

At our camps you’ll find – 

•YOU’RE IN GOOD HANDS: Your child will be 

cared for by our well-seasoned and well-trained 

counselors, many of whom return from college 

each summer to lead alongside our Counselor In 

Training program graduates. Counselors, staff and 

lifeguards are required to complete 30 hours of 

pre-camp training including youth and adult CPR, 

First Aid, AED and Child Abuse Prevention training. 

We conduct background checks and drug screenings 

on all camp counselors and employees. 

•A WELCOMING SPACE: With indoor and outdoor 

facilities and carefully maintained campuses, a YMCA 

camp is a nurturing environment based on caring and 

respect. In fact, our counselors and staff are trained 

in conflict resolution techniques and encourage 

campers to be inclusive of all and celebrate our 

differences. 

•SHELTER FROM THE SUN: Throughout the summer, 

we take extra care to monitor the heat index and air 

quality. We adjust our day to avoid overexposure, 

create cool, shaded places for activities and we plan 

for frequent water breaks. 

•AS A MEMBER: YMCA members enjoy special prices 

on programs and receive first priority for registration. 

Members have full use of our 19 locations and the 

opportunity to engage in a host of healthy activities.
