Southeast Raleigh Day Camp: Extras
Summer 2026
Southeast Raleigh Day Camp Extras allows your child to specialize in topics of his or her special interest during activity periods and give the summer some variety.
Campers still enjoy the fun of assemblies, swimming and some camp activities with the rest of Camp Renaissance.
All campers are encouraged to try everything, to do their best and are led by a team of YMCA youth staff and counselors.

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)!
