SUMMER TIME FUN!
The Valley Y provides exciting and educational camp programming for children and teens, and their parents, at our traditional day camp.
To ensure that every child and teen has the chance to go to camp, the Valley Y offers financial assistance to those in need. We believe that no one should be turned away because of their inability to pay. Come, let us help!
Exploring nature, swimming, shooting bows & arrows and making new friends are just some aspects of the experience of participating in Day Camp. As summer approaches, the Valley Y reminds parents that camping is a unique and invaluable experience for children and teens.
At Day Camp through the Y, campers will try things they have never tried before, build a relationship with our caring staff or a new friend, and of course, HAVE LOTS OF FUN! We don’t just sit in front of a TV all day, we enjoy nature, play games, learn songs, develop new skills, and we experience camp!
