Welcome to Ann Arbor YMCA Summer Programs!
The Y is a place where everyone belongs and can be themselves while engaging in new
experiences, strengthening character, building new skills and making new friends.
Our well-rounded summer day camp programs are rooted in the YMCA core values of
caring, honesty, respect and responsibility while being intentional about fostering
friendships, a sense of accomplishment, and belonging for all.
More than ever this summer, we are committed to providing youth with a safe and
positive environment that promotes participants to lead with empathy, build healthy
relationships, effectively manage emotions, take responsibility for actions and
develop achievable goals.
As you review our camp brochure, you’ll notice a range of in-person day camps offered
across Washtenaw County, along with several exciting new camps that bring all of the
fun of camp to you to complete at home. We’re also launching several new virtual camp
programs that will engage your child in some of their favorite activities from home.
The Ann Arbor YMCA Day Camp Team is here to cultivate your camper’s character,
curiosity and creativity for youth to discover their passions and explore their
potential.
Adventure Awaits!
