Health is now a priority in our household because of the Y. And as a single mom living in New York City, it’s wonderful to know my kids are in a safe, enriching place learning new skills. Most impactful have been the friendships we’ve formed. Now, when we see the Y sign, we see family.

Samantha Cruz's experience at YMCA Day Camps started when she was just 5 years old. Her journey comes full circle, as she now stands as the Camp Director of the Dodge YMCA.

After I lost my husband, everything changed. I thought we should visit family, but the kids said, “No, no, please, we need to go to the YMCA. The Y has helped Sami improve in athletics and academics, and it’s where Yasmine has made her best friends. And I don’t have to worry about their safety.

Sleepaway Camp encourages kids to move outside their comfort zone, try new things, and master skills beyond the everyday. Learn how to prepare your child for a fantastic summer away from home!

With so many choices, choosing the right summer camp can be overwhelming. Here are 5 things to consider when selecting the perfect place for your child!

Summer camp is a big time for the Y. We hire more than 1,000 new employees to serve more than 13,000 campers every year. The best part is many of our staff were once campers themselves, or have children in our camps. We asked staff to share their best experiences.

It’s a big year for New York City’s YMCA camp in Huguenot, which celebrates 100 years in 2018.
