“If you somehow positively impact one child and they get a sense of self and confidence
and even just happiness, and they bring that back to their family and their school,
camp can affect millions of people.”

Summer Camp 2011
We am extremely excited about 2011 YMCA Summer Day Camp and hope you are too. By signing your child up for camp you are making a statement that you care about their future and well-being of your child. Camp Discover goes beyond childcare. We seek to give children and youth something to be passionate about whether it is sports, science, the arts, or swimming. We strive to help your children learn new skills, grow socially, develop strong role-models, build strong character, and strong relationships that will impact them in positive ways for years to come.
At Camp Discover we capture the magic of away camp traditions with songs, games, and memorable activities in a day camp setting. We will start each day with opening ceremonies at the flagpole where we will prepare your campers for the day and help them to focus on the four core values of the YMCA: Honesty, Respect, Caring, and Responsibility.
We have camps and programs for all ages from preschool through high school and we offer a variety of specialty camps. Once again we have teamed up with the local school food program and free breakfast and lunch will be provided each day accompanied by a daily snack from the YMCA. Snack may include watermelon, freeze pops, ice-cream Sundaes, and a whole lot more. Another tradition that we are bringing back is our lunch table buddies. Each week professionals from the community will come and speak to the children. Our qualified and well trained staff are here to serve you and ensure that you children have a safe and exciting summer filled with songs, games, and friendships that will last a life time.
