Camp Renaissance
Summer 2026
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.
Middle school campers enjoy age-appropriate independence and choose from a variety of activities, including community service projects and team-building exercises.
NEIGHBOR ZONE
In partnership with the Southeast Raleigh Promise and the Wake County Public School System, the YMCA established a Neighbor Zone surrounding the Rock Quarry Road corridor. To better support our neighbors living within the zone, we have established specific program pricing. These rates are unique to those whose home address is located in the identified area.
Neighbor Zone pricing is $110 per session. If you have already qualified for zone membership rates, you are automatically qualified for zone program rates.

Your camper's safety is our number one concern. We want to ensure we get all campers to you quickly & safely. Please take a look at the guidelines below for our pickup process:
• Please park and come into the camp office if you are dropping off or picking up between the times of 9 a.m. - 3:59 p.m. Any families that arrive at or after 4 p.m. will need to get in their car and go through our carpool line to receive their camper.
• Similar to many of our schools, we will have a setup time of 30 minutes from 4 - 4:30 p.m. where we will NOT deliver any campers to their cars.
• Any families that would like to walk and pick their camper up are free to do so starting at 5:30 p.m. We will not serve any walk-up families before 5:30 p.m.
• Please stay in your cars as this is the best and quickest way for us to get your camper to you.
Family nights are time for you to enjoy a bit of the camp experience with your child(ren)!
