Flushing YMCA

There is an energy and magic to summer camp that cannot be replicated! Friends, experiences, and memories to last a lifetime!
Our Summer Camp is open to current kindergarteners through 6th grade students who are ready to participate in a summer filled with awesome games and activities. Our campers establish new friendships, participate in sports and creative arts, explore science and nature, swim, and of course, have fun! Campers learn how to express themselves in a safe and bully-free environment while developing our four core YMCA values of respect, caring, honesty, and responsibility.
Our Day Camp includes a wide range of sports, instructional swimming, arts and crafts, and themed days such as “Superhero Day.” Each week features a different theme, such as Harry Potter, Star Wars, or Pokémon, where science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) activities are geared towards the specified theme. Campers have swim lessons three times a week in our on-premise pool. There are also weekly field trips, on-site petting zoo, pony rides and our own camp carnival! Every two weeks, campers showcase something they have learned or created in our Family Share.
Day Camp activities are designed to help children retain and build upon the academic skills they have developed during the school year. Research has shown that children can lose a half grade of learning over the summer months. To help mitigate summer learning loss, the YMCA offers interactive programs such as Book of the Week, which gives campers the opportunity to read books and participate in facilitated discussions. Activities such as journaling and age-appropriate science experiments expand their literacy, math and science skills, and promote their ability to think critically.
All of the activities are geared to be fun and build lifetime memories!
