Have a Fun and Safe Summer at the East Jefferson YMCA

Summer Camp Runs June 1 - August 6, 2021

March 18, 2021

The YMCA is committed to making sure that every child has the opportunity to have a summer full of adventure with learning opportunities, fun activities, and great friends!  Our purpose is to offer a wonderful atmosphere that focuses on creating memories for our campers based on our four core values: caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.

At the YMCA you can spend between one and ten weeks making friends, enhancing social skills, trying new things and gaining self confidence. Our campers enjoy themed weeks with activities to correlate including but not limited to sports, indoor and outdoor games, arts and crafts, swimming, field trips, fitness and more!

You can ensure our camp is a safe place to be with staff required to attend at least 30 hours of training. Their training includes but not limited to CPR, First Aid, Character Development, Age Appropriate Activities, Child Abuse Awareness, and Positive Reinforcement.
