Camps

At the YMCA, our summer camps in the Twin Cities area and throughout Minnesota nurture character development through our core values: Caring, Honesty, Respect and Responsibility.

Camps at the Y share one thing: they’re about discovery.  Kids and teenagers have the opportunity to explore nature, find new talents, try new activities, gain independence, and make lasting friendships and memories.
