Camp Pathfinder
About Our Camp
Campers are divided into age and grade-appropriate groups called "huddles" that are supervised by our dedicated, enthusiastic, and child-centered staff team.
Each week, campers have opportunities to swim, participate in skill development and earn beads by demonstrating the Y's core values of Faith, Caring, Honesty, Respect and Responsibility - because at the YMCA Summer Day Camp, character counts!
At Camp Pathfinder, kids have the chance to be kids, all within a structured, playful, and safe environment. Campers spend the day swimming, creating crafts and art, playing sports like kickball, pickup basketball, and soccer and playing games like gaga ball and capture the flag.
Campers spend time inside and outside during the day depending on the weather and activity. Read more about a typical day at YMCA Day Camp.
