Camp Kerr
Summer 2025
YMCA traditional Summer Day Camps are packed with activities, games and fun. 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.
All campers are encouraged to try everything, to do their best and are led by a team of YMCA youth staff and counselors.
From fun field games to archery and swimming, our counselors use activities and camp experiences to teach values like caring, honesty, respect, responsibility and faith in God – things that last long after summer is over. Camp Kerr is located at the Kerr Family YMCA and is open to campers in rising grades K – 8.
*Learn more about Camp Kerr's Camper In Leadership Training (CILT) program for rising grades 9 - 10 and Camp Kerr Extras for rising grades 1 - 5.)
