YMCA Inclusive Summer Programs are so much more than just fun in the sun. Our camps have a structure and routine of active living and recreation. Campers will enjoy outdoor activities, sports, swimming, and outings into the community, in addition to explorations into the creative arts, science, and key concepts of healthy living (physical activity and nutrition).
Inclusive Summer Programs
The YMCA is proud to provide campers with an inclusive summer experience in which campers gain new skills, challenge personal limits and have fun. Both our Downtown and Northwest Inclusive Summer Programs are open to all young people including those with diverse special needs. All campers participate together in the same programs and social skills education. The families of campers with special needs can contact the Summer Day Camp Director for more information and to schedule an intake interview prior to registering.
