At the YMCA Summer Camp is all about developing the camper and filling your child's day with fun, character-developing experiences.  

Campers develop new friendships while gaining a sense of independence. With activities like swimming, sports, gymnastics, cheerleading, nature and environmental awareness, arts and crafts, math and science, (just to name a few of the Y's specialty camps) campers try things outside of their norm.

Activity and play is just the beginning. Camp Leaders create an environment where campers learn the importance of healthy choices and active lifestyles while developing teamwork and leadership skills.

• Camp Discovery (ages 4 to 16) is held at the 200-acre Simpsonwood Retreat Center that features nature trails, tennis and basketball courts, athletic fields, outdoor swimming pool, woods, and stream. It is the perfect setting for an exciting summer in the great outdoors.

• Camp Imagine (ages 5 to 12) is held in downtown historic Norcross in the Cultural Arts and Community Center and neighboring parks and fields. In addition to sports, this camp offers a math and science camp and a creative arts camp.  

Both camps share one thing: they’re a fun and happy place to enjoy the summer.  It’s not too late to sign your child up for some summer fun!  Stop by the Y or send an email to fpy@ymcaatlanta.org for more information.
