Summer Day Camp
YMCA Day Camp provides children a terrific recreational opportunity and many traditional resident camp activities while still returning home to their own beds each night. The YMCA offers licensed day camps throughout Eastern Massachusetts that feature swim lessons, arts and crafts, recreation time and field trips. Summer camp staff is well trained in first aid, CPR and other health safety skills. All YMCA water-based activities include life guards to help ensure your child’s safety. Each branch of the YMCA of Greater Boston offers unique day camp programs so click on the appropriate location below to find out more.
