NURTURING THE POTENTIAL
OF CHILDREN AND TEENS
At the Y, our camps foster character development through our core values: Caring, Honesty, Respect, and Responsibility. The YMCA of Central Massachusetts offers a wide variety of day camp options for children ranging from pre-school to teens! We have on-site camps at each of our branch facilities, two beautiful facilities that offer a traditional outdoor day camp experience, and even a travel camp!
At each of our camps, our objective is the same: to give children an experience of a lifetime. This experience is grounded in a set of seven objectives that characterize all Y programs and help our youth:
- Grow personally
- Learn values
- Improve personal and family relationships
- Appreciate Diversity
- Become better leaders and supporters
- Develop specific skills and assets
- Have FUN!
