SUMMER CAMP

At Leaning Tower Y Summer Camp, we work every day to make sure that everyone has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive. Parents desire a safe environment in which children can learn practical and social skills and develop positive values. Kids want to exert energy, discover who they are and what they can achieve and be accepted among each other. At Y Camp, we nurture life lessons in kids and work to develop character and leadership skills. Activities include sports, character development, art projects, games, skits, songs, sports, swimming, field trips and much more. 

What do I bring to camp? Bring yourself, your enthusiasm and lots of energy! Campers also need to bring two healthy snacks, a sack lunch, sun screen and water bottle every day. A swim suit and towel is needed on swim days and water park days. For information on what to bring and what not to bring to camp, please see forms.  

SPECIALTY CAMPS & SPORT CAMPS AND CLINICS

We offer a variety of camps to meet your child’s individual interest and needs. For more information on camps, please see camp brochure.
