Y Summer Day Camp provides campers with opportunities to have fun, develop self-confidence and make lasting friendships, all in a safe and accepting environment. At the YMCA of Greater New York, we have provided New Yorkers with transformational camp experiences for over 100 years. We believe in creating a magical camp experience for every child. Our day camps are packed full of engaging and hands-on experiences where campers can be silly playing games, making friends, singing camp songs and exploring creativity through fun activities.  

 

We take fun seriously!
