West Side YMCA Summer Day Camp

We're thrilled to run summer camp at the West Side YMCA in Manhattan! You can trust us to give your kids a fun, enriching, and high-quality camp experience this summer — out of the house and off screens. Our summer camps will lead to a summer of fun, friendships, and adventure! At the Y, no family is turned away because of inability to pay. Financial assistance is available. 

There is an energy and magic to summer camp that cannot be replicated! Friends, experiences, and memories to last a lifetime!  At the YMCA Summer Day Camp, each day is a fun new adventure. Campers participate in traditional camp activities that get them moving in physical activities, get creative in arts and crafts, experiment in fun science activities, and get silly in theme day activities. Summer Day Camp offers a unique camp day that includes time for children to build social and emotional skills in a fun and inclusive environment. This environment creates an atmosphere of family and community that includes a focus on classroom structure, transitional activities, group play, and team building.  All camp activities focus on the YMCA’s four core values of respect, caring, honesty, and responsibility. Campers will receive their very own set of materials and equipment.
