Summer 2026
Sports Camp at the Northwest Cary YMCA focuses on a specific sport, based on the week you choose for your camper. Our camps provide basic training for specific sports, like basketball, dance, flag football, running and soccer. We even offer sessions of Jump Rope Camp led by our national champion YMCA Super Skippers Jump Rope team.
YMCA Sports Camps are filled with specific sports drills and scrimmages with time for swimming and a few traditional camp activities. Pick the sport per week your camper is interested in and watch them improve their skills and burn off energy in a safe environment.
All campers are encouraged to try everything, to do their best and are led by a team of YMCA youth staff and counselors. Sports Camp is designed for campers ages 6 - 13 years old.
You can read more about how we operate our day camps in the YMCA Parent Manual. Details include safety information and links to our medication forms and packing lists.
We can’t wait to see your children this summer. After all, a strong summer means strong kids.

Rides In
Rides In runs from 7 - 8:45 a.m. If a family arrives after 8:45 a.m., they should call the number listed on the sign at drop-off, and a staff member will come out to assist.
Rides Out

Please refer to the yellow line in the image below for our Rides In/Rides Out traffic flow for Sports Camp. Follow the blue line to exit.

Our pool time is 2 - 2:45 p.m. and 2:45 - 3:25 p.m.
At Sports Camp, we keep things exciting with fun weekly themes like Holiday Hustle, Space Jam Week and Hollywood Week, where both counselors and campers are encouraged to dress up and show their spirit!
On Fridays, we have our Showcase, where each group plays the sport they’ve practiced all week in front of the whole camp inside the gym—it's a great way to celebrate their hard work and progress!
On Fridays, we also have Kona Ice. If you would like your child to celebrate the week with a tasty treat, please send cash for purchase in a labeled Ziploc bag with your camper’s name, which we will keep safe in the front office until treat time.
