Camp Explorer

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 Explorer is held at East Clayton Elementary School until Aug. 11. The last weeks of camp are held at Christ the King UMC (formerly Christ Community UMC) on Amelia Church Road

We also have a special group for rising kindergartners with modified activities that are age-appropriate, called Camp K.

At Camp, Character Matters

At YMCA Summer Day Camp, campers earn beads for exemplifying our five character traits: Honesty, Respect, Caring, Responsibility and Faith. Campers can earn beads daily by being a good friend, picking up after themselves or leading a camp prayer.
