Summer Camp



Summer Fun at YMCA Camp Luther

Day camp means a lot of things: fun, adventure, safety, excitement, childcare, and memories.

Without a doubt, YMCA Day Camp is the place for kids in the summer. Activities and skills, learning and laughter will fill each day at camp in a positive, Christian environment. Well-trained, young adults will lead campers and model core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.

Kids love camp! Nothing could be better than enjoying time with friends in God’s great outdoors. Come to camp this summer, you will never forget it!
