Tri-County YMCA
Tell City Summer Day Camp
We are excited that you have chosen the Y! We know how important it is for you to have a safe, convenient, affordable program for your child to attend while you are at work. We offer a structured program designed with the child and working family in mind. YMCA Day Camps challenge children to grow in imagination, creativity, confidence, self-directed initiative, and leadership. YMCA Day Campers pack more into a summer than they ever thought they could. The days are filled with arts and crafts, high-energy games, group activities, field trips, friendships, and much more. Camp is offered for 10 weeks for boys and girls in grades K-6th grade (based on the 2020-2021 school year). Campers are given the opportunity to meet new friends while experiencing the fun and excitement of summertime. We are dedicated to changing the lives of our campers in a positive way and thank you for giving us the opportunity to do so. We are committed to providing your child with a rewarding and memorable experience. We have hired role models for your children who will help build character, positive experiences, and memories that will last a lifetime. Whether you are new to the YMCA Summer Camp or a seasoned Y Camper, we are pleased to welcome you to 2020 Summer Camp.
