It's Your Summer to Discover
Don't miss out on Summer Fun!

YMCA summer camps are high quality, affordable and convenient all summer long. But don't miss out, summer is almost here! Choose from a wide variety of summer camps for kids including Outdoor Day Camp, Discovery Camp, Sports Camps, Specialty Camps and Summer Fun Bunch. Check out Camp Orkila & Camp Colman for the classic overnight camping experience that kids will remember for the rest of their lives. And with 10 YMCA pools in the Greater Seattle area, you're never too far to access swimming lessons for every age and ability.

The YMCA's wide menu of summer activities allows you to plan a varied, fun summer all at one place with easy online registration and is a great alternative to child care or preschool. Start with a couple of weeks of sports camp and choose from baseball, basketball, soccer, tennis, cheerleading and more. Then try Discovery Camp where kids create and learn with hands-on, structured activities in art, science, storytelling, plus outdoor play and field trips. Or try Outdoor Day Camp with adventures in exploring, hiking, rock climbing, arts and crafts, learning outdoor skills and swimming. A week or so of Specialty Camp will allow your child to make new discoveries through Mad Science, learn to double-dutch from Ropeworks or explore the depths of Puget Sound with the help of Seattle Scuba Schools. Finally, mix in a week or two of overnight camp where boys and girls get to sail, bike, horseback ride, skateboard and learn about marine ecology. While they're putting on skits and singing around the campfire, they'll be making new friends and gaining some new-found independence.

Teens and tweens can also find tons of programs and activities from overnight backpacking and travel camps covering Puget Sound and the west coast to international programs in Japan. The YMCA offers a number of leadership teen programs that build self esteem, infuse the concepts of service and wellness, help with career exploration and expose youth to outstanding leaders.

YMCA summer youth programs are tons of fun but also instructive for life. Our staff provides activities that have a positive, life-long impact on your child through:

Developing self-confidence and independence
Communicating core values of respect, responsibility, honesty, caring, faith and fun
Creating lasting friendships and lifelong memories
Encouraging learning and exploration in a supportive environment
