Space is still available in 2024 YMCA of the Chesapeake summer camps.
“Camps at the Y are all about discovery,” said Robbie Gill, YMCA of the Chesapeake CEO. “Kids will be able to try a wide variety of programs ranging from sports camps to the arts, to themed day camps and more, that will surely spark a child’s interest, excitement and creativity.”
Camp programs are offered at the Cecil County YMCA, Easton Family YMCA, Henson Camp Cook in Salisbury, Kent County Family YMCA, Lower Shore Family YMCA, Perkins YMCA in St. Michaels, Queen Anne’s County Family YMCA and Robbins Family YMCA in Cambridge.
Most camps operate Monday-Friday, 9am-4pm with before and after camp care available at no extra charge.
YMCA of the Chesapeake day camps are centered around improving the well-being of children and support each child’s individuality. They intentionally focus on three areas of development: friendships, accomplishment and belonging. The YMCA team creates a safe and vibrant environment that allows children to:
- Learn and master skills that nurture their passions, talents and potential.
- Bond with new friends and positive staff role models to create lasting memories.
- Know they belong so they feel welcome and free to express who they are.
