ALEXANDRIA, VA – YMCA summer camps offer a variety of activities and memories that last a lifetime. Early registration is now open.

By participating in camp, kids can learn a new skill such as swimming, experience the outdoors, and make new friends.

According to a YMCA press release, multiple studies have shown that kids who do not have the ability to attend camp “experience learning loss, feel lonely more often, and gain weight twice as fast [as they would] during the school year.”

Don’t have the money to pay for camp? YMCA offers scholarships through the Send a Kid To Camp campaign.

“Built on our values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility, all Y camps are designed to boost self-confidence and social skills, support independent thinking, spark creativity with hands-on learning, and nurture healthy habits,” said Kristofer Titus, Association Director of School Age Child Care & Camp.” Beyond that, kids and parents get to choose their own adventure, whether it be swimming, sports, science, staging a play, or sailing. There’s something for everyone!”
