YOUTH DEVELOPMENT
PROGRAMS AND SERVICES • CAMP
Day and overnight camps give kids the chance to explore nature, find new talents,
try new activities, gain independence and make lasting friendships and memories.
Camping at the Y is about learning skills, developing character and making friends.
Our camps are also places where kids become a community as they engage in physical,
social and educational activities that teach how to be more independent and how to
contribute to a group. Camping teaches self-reliance, a love for nature and the outdoors,
and the development of attitudes and practices that build character and leadership.
YMCA Day Camps
Day camp can offer almost all of the benefits of traditional camp—new experiences, skill
building, a sense of community and lasting friendships — while allowing campers to return
home each afternoon.
Ys throughout Middle Tennessee and southern Kentucky offer day camps giving kids the chance
to enjoy activities ranging from sports and the outdoors to the arts and humanities.
