Discovery Camp
Grades 1 - 5
Create, learn, and play all summer long at YMCA Discovery Camp!
Y staff create hands-on, structured enrichment activities in art, science, storytelling, and outdoor play. Each week's theme is woven into the day's games, field trips, and fun. Your camper will make new friends and develop skills in a small group setting.
The Y makes summer schedules easier for families with convenient program locations throughout local neighborhoods.

Field Trip Update
As you know, camp will look different this year as we adjust to keep kids and staff safe with daily health screenings and small groups, along with other health and safety protocols. Along those same lines, we will not be offering traditional field trips this year.
Instead of transporting kids to locations near and far, we will bring the field trips to them with specialized enrichment activities, and water and wheel days! Some kids may also go on walking trips with their small groups to nearby parks, nature trails, and more.
