Kids ages 3-14 have the opportunity, once again, to enhance their spirit, mind, and body at the Grand Traverse Bay YMCA Day Camps as they have for the past 25 years.
The state-licensed camps last for 12 weeks, with each week having a different theme. Campers can also choose from six different camps: Traditional Y Day Camp, Y Sports Camp, K-Camp, Young Explorers Camp, Y Arts Camp, and the Y Leaders Club Camp. Camp starts on June 14 and registration is now being taken.
At the Traditional Y Day Camp, campers are split into age groups and participate in activities designed around the theme of the week. This camp is for kids entering grades 1-6. This camp costs $95 per week for YMCA facility members and $115 per week for YMCA program members.
The Y Sports Camp gives campers an introduction to new sports as well as an opportunity to polish their skills. Each week features a new sport. Kids entering grades 4-6 can participate in this camp. This camp costs $105 per week for facility members and $125 per week for program members.
The K-Camp, a camp solely for kids entering kindergarten, provides campers a variety of age-appropriate activities similar to those in the traditional day camp. This camp costs $95 per week for facility members and $115 per week for program members.
The Young Explorers Camp, for kids age 3 ½-4, takes place at the Y Child Care Center. This camp is based on the YMCA’s values. This camp costs $115 per week for facility members and $145 per week for program members.
