YMCA Day Camps and Overnight Camps aren't just something to do when school's out — they’re life-changing experiences.
In between the arts and crafts, games and activities, something special happens. Friendships blossom, self-confidence emerges, independence grows, and through it all, children and teens build resilience to help them face new challenges as they grow up.
As Canada’s largest camp provider, we are empowering the next generation to lead healthier, happier lives by helping them learn how to handle life’s curveballs. When kids and teens believe in themselves, the whole community wins.
Explore your local YMCA’s camp programs to discover why parents consistently say that our camps are safe, supportive, active, and fun experiences where their children gain a greater appreciation for the natural world, their community, and themselves.
