Summer 2026
Kindercamp is a half-day summer day camp for our littlest campers. These half-day programs are a great introduction to the structure and rhythm of day camp. Days are filled with songs, games, water play, circle time and crafts. We keep our ratios intentionally low so each camper can have plenty of one-on-one attention and care.
Kindercamp is located at Penny Road Elementary School* (10900 Penny Rd, Cary, NC 27518), and is open to campers ages 3 – rising kindergarten. Kindercampers are required to be potty trained. Kindercamp will bus to the Kraft Y 3-days a week for swimming.
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 know you have questions about your little one's first camp experience. Find answers in our FAQ document!
