Day Camps

Summer Adventure Camp

For campers entering grades K – 6

Summer Adventure Camp is held at the YMCA Sports Center Located at The Archdiocesan Center at St. Thomas Seminary  and is offered in ten one-week sessions. This state-licensed, ACA-accredited program is filled with fun and enriching experiences which promote skill development, self-confidence, and most of all…FUN! All aspects of our day Camp program strive to put our YMCA mission into action.

Each Camper will have a head counselor and home group that he or she checks in with throughout the Camp day. Camp will begin and end with campers gathering in their home groups. During the day, a variety of choices will be available and campers will sign up for their activities at the beginning of the day.

Some of the activities available at Camp this year will be sports (basketball, soccer, baseball, kickball, etc), arts and crafts, teambuilding, field games, drama activities, archery, recreational swimming, nature study and more.

Each Camper should bring a labeled bag lunch, drinks and two snacks each day. Your child should also have a swim suit and towel as well as a bottle of sunscreen for reapplying throughout the day. Please have Camper apply sunscreen prior to arriving at Camp. Valuables such as video games, jewelry, cell phones, etc. should not be brought to Camp. The YMCA is not responsible for lost valuables.

Full-Day and Half-Day options available, based on availability. If you select the half-day option, either a.m. or p.m. must be selected for the entire week. All participants must have a valid Greater Hartford YMCA membership.
