Day Camp is a Blast

Program

Children who are 5 to 10 years old enjoy an action-packed day at YMCA Camp Chingachgook. The day program follows the basic structure of the resident camp with morning activities, lunch, afternoon activities, snack, and free swim in Beginners' Bay, which offers shallow swimming from a sandy beach. Activities may include hiking, arts and crafts, sports, archery, climbing tower, bouldering wall, canoeing, and more. Campers learn to cooperate and work together as a team, sharing responsibilities and fun. Chingachgook provides lunch and a snack.
