Building Strong Kids!

By choosing YMCA Day Camp you are choosing more than a summer day care service.  Your child will learn and grow through our carefully-planned, mission-centered curriculum that teaches your child to:

• Make Healthy Choices
• Build Relationships
• Develop Skills
• Become a Servant Leader

The YMCA of Greater Charlotte’s mission is to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all.  YMCA Day Camp is the way we carry out that mission with children and teens in our care during the summer months.

Healthy Choices Healthy choices involve the spirit, mind and body.  Exercise and nutritious snacks are just the beginning.  At the YMCA campers will also learn the character values of respect, responsibility, honesty, caring and faith, helping them develop healthy minds and spirits.		Relationships Every child needs a mentor!  Over the years, hundreds of campers have bonded with our fun, energetic leaders.  They also make great friends!  These relationships will make your child’s summer camp experience unforgettable.
Skills At YMCA Day Camp, leaders teach critical life skills to your child -- like teamwork, independence and how to discover a talent or passion.  In our specialty camps, qualified coaches and instructors teach campers how to masters skills.  Check out offerings at your YMCA branch including sports, arts and outdoor adventure!		Servant Leadership The YMCA values the opportunity to teach your child the importance of serving others.  Our youngest campers learn service through simple acts of sharing.  As our campers grow up with the YMCA, they learn to be leaders who positively impact their community.
