June 1st - August 7th
WELCOME!Dear Campers and Parents:
Welcome to the Whitley County Family YMCA Summer Day Camp, where every child is encouraged to use their imaginations, explore the outdoors, and create lifelong friendships! This summer will be filled with new adventures every day, from being a pirate, making duct tape crafts, to exercising boot camp style just to name a few! Join the fun, and fit in just for being you. This Y camp helps kids get more out of summer: more learning, more exploration, and more achievement.
A camp experience can be a powerful tool for personal growth. This is why we strive to offer the highest quality camps with the most diverse opportunities. We put a lot of effort into creating a fun, safe environment by carefully selecting staff through screenings, background checks, and thorough trainings (including first aid, CPR, risk management, character building etc.) Our staff are of the highest integrity, personal and spiritual maturity, and are enthusiastic about camp. You can depend on the Y to make sure that camp is well supervised.
We are excited to spend the summer getting to know you and your children while creating the best camp experience ever!
