Camp Great Adventure
Summer 2024
YMCA traditional Summer Day Camps are packed with activities, games and fun. Campers spend the day swimming, creating crafts and art, playing sports like kickball, pickup basketball, and soccer and playing games like gaga ball and capture the flag. Campers spend time inside and outside during the day depending on the weather and activity. Read more about a typical day at YMCA Day Camp.
All campers are encouraged to try everything, to do their best and are led by a team of YMCA youth staff and counselors.
Camp Great Adventure is a summer camp serving children in rising grades K - 5 in the Garner area. The camp is held at Vandora Springs Elementary School. Our "Camp K" programs serve our rising kindergarten students, and we have middle school and CILT programs for our older campers:
