2025 YMCA summer camp registration is open!

Registration for 2025 YMCA of the Chesapeake youth summer camps is now open.

“Our summer camps are designed to give kids a place where they can explore new interests, make friends, and grow in confidence,” said Robbie Gill, CEO of YMCA of the Chesapeake. “Whether they’re trying a sport for the first time, diving into creative arts, or simply enjoying the outdoors, every child will leave with meaningful experiences and lifelong memories.”

Camp programs will be available at the following YMCA of the Chesapeake locations:

  • Cecil County YMCA
  • Easton Family YMCA
  • Henson Camp Cook in Salisbury
  • Kent County Family YMCA
  • Lower Shore Family YMCA
  • Perkins Family YMCA in St. Michaels
  • Queen Anne’s County Family YMCA
  • Pauline F. and W. David Robbins Family YMCA in Cambridge

At the YMCA of the Chesapeake, day camps focus on enhancing friendship, accomplishment, and belonging, helping children build confidence and independence through hands-on learning, outdoor exploration, and new experiences.

Most camps operate Monday-Friday 9am-4pm with before and after camp care available at no extra charge.

Parents and guardians can register now on the YMCA of the Chesapeake website, and camp registration fees will be waived for those who sign up during March – a savings of $25 per child. Use promo code 2025-CAMP.
