NEW for 2023 – FOCUSED FUN CAMPS!
Our new “Focused Fun” camp opportunities are designed to be a fully immersive program for campers to fully explore areas of interest and passion. Many traditional summer day camps provide campers the opportunity to be exposed to a wide variety of different activities but sometimes only allow them to scratch the surface of possibility.
Our “Focused Fun” camp series will allow campers to dig deep into these areas and continue building skills they already have, sharing knowledge with other like minded peers, and learn from local enthusiasts who will join us for portions of our camp experience.
Focused Fun Registration forms can be found under forms below.

Focused Fun Sports Camp @ The Y! (Entering 5th-8th grades)
This summer we are excited to offer members of our community the opportunity to hone their sport specific skills by engaging in 1/2 day skill development camps here at our YMCA. We recognize the local desire young athletes and their families have for additional skill work and player development during the off season and summer. We will offer soccer and basketball skills camps focused on the skill development of players along with the self-confidence, nutrition, and mindset it takes to be successful on and off the field and court.
Our Focused Sports Camps will be led by local high school coaches and athletes who have put in the work and developed the skills and knowledge to compete and coach at the next level. Our camp staff are excited to share with you their knowledge and passion for the sports they love. Sharing their knowledge, love, and passion for the game is sure to help aspiring athletes continue to develop their skills and strengthen their love for the game.
