Summer Camp 2021
Fun? It’s in our nature! YMCA summer camp has the capacity to transform young lives in many ways. Your child will play, explore, learn new skills, and make new friends at the Y this summer. With campers being surrounded by positive role models, natural environments, and our Christian principles, the combination is perfect for enhancing lives and building positive character traits. We look forward to creating life-long memories with your child while they grow in spirit, mind, and body.
Due to the new guidelines, in order to keep staff and campers safe we have had to reduce the capacity at our summer camps. Because of this, some of our centers have already reached their capacity. If you have any questions, please email us at daycamp@ymcavp.org.

If you cannot afford to pay the standard fees; ask about the Guardian program. Do not begin the online registration process until your child care director confirms all financial paperwork is received.
