Summer Day Camps
YMCA camps give you peace of mind while you are at work. The program assures that the learning, fun, and character-building experienced during the school year, continues into the summer months. The activities are designed to keep your child’s mind and body active while nurturing the Y’s core values: caring, faith, honesty, respect, and responsibility.
Full Day Camps
Fun Factory
Our traditional indoor camp is specialized to keep the camper’s brain stimulated over the summer break to help prevent learning loss. We will engage the kids in various energizing, independent physical activities. All campers must be potty-trained. Fun Factory fees also include daily snacks and weekly field trips. Weekly camp activities fall in line with our summer theme.
Camp Mac Boykin
Campers will experience classic outdoor adventure at Camp Mac Boykin, nestled on 55 beautiful acres of woods, water, and open space. The camp features a ropes course, cabins, ball field, and a natural swimming area with water based activities that encourage exploration and fun. This traditional outdoor camp focuses on building friendships, learning new skills, and enjoying rugged summer fun in the great outdoors. For nearly 75 years, Camp Mac Boykin has created meaningful memories, with generations of campers returning as counselors in training and staff.
Each day is filled with nature education, arts and crafts, messy games, Ga Ga, and opportunities for adventure, including overnights. Campers grow in confidence, independence, and teamwork while making lifelong memories. We will host four overnight opportunities this summer for those attending Camp Mac Boykin.
C.I.T. – Counselors In Training
The Counselor in Training (C.I.T.) program at Camp Mac Boykin is designed to help teens build leadership skills they can use throughout their lives. CITs learn how to work effectively with children while developing responsibility, communication, and teamwork skills.

Participants must attend the required training date to ensure they are prepared and confident in supporting campers and staff.
