TELL ME ABOUT THIS JOB!
Every Day Campers participate in fun and engaging YMCA Summer Day Camp programs. Counselors will co-lead a group of 10-15 youth in various activities throughout the camp, including group games, crafts, STEM projects, cooking projects and more.

We have camps that serve campers from preschool-early high school. From theme-based camps, to environmental explorations at Outdoor Day Camp to sports, swimming, STEM and more-we have something for every camper but also for every counselor.
