The YMCA, with branches in East Jefferson, Belle Chasse, South Plaquemines and West St. Tammany, 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!  The YMCA offers a wonderful atmosphere that focuses on creating memories for campers based on their 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.
