Welcome to
Ann Arbor YMCA
SUMMER PROGRAMS
The Y is a place where everyone belongs and can be themselves while
engaging in new experiences, strengthening character, building new skills
and making new friends.
Our well-rounded summer day camp programs are rooted in the YMCA
core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility while being
intentional about fostering friendships, a sense of accomplishment, and
belonging for all.
More than ever this summer, we are committed to providing youth with
a positive environment that prioritizes safety and promotes participants
to lead with empathy, build healthy relationships, effectively manage
emotions, take responsibility for actions, and develop achieveable goals.
As you review our camp brochure, you will notice a range of in-person
day camps offered across Washtenaw County, along with several exciting
new camps that bring all of the fun of camp to you to complete at home.
We are also offering virtual camp programs that will engage your child in
some of their favorite activities from home.
The Ann Arbor YMCA Day Camp Team is here to cultivate your camper’s
character, curiosity and creativity for youth to discover their passions and
explore their potential.
Adventure Awaits!
