We build strong kids, strong families, strong communities.

Y Community Impact


"Our kids are over the moon about camp. They both had a terrific time and are excited for next year. We now have most of our neighborhood attending and will continue to recruit more. Thank you for taking such good care of the kids and making them feel happy and welcome."

"This was our first year of doing this camp. I have to say my son had the best week there, he loved everything about it. He can't wait for next year and he also is planning on becoming a camp counselor when he is old enough. Thanks for making his summer camp so memorable for him."

"There is so much variety with the camp activities that my 7 year old and my 4 year old were happily busy every day!"

Because inpiring friends and new adventures make lasting memories

The Greater Waterbury YMCA is proud to offer two day camps that are unmatched in customer service, the quality of programs, and most importantly caring and professional staff.

With activities such as archery, swimming, arts & crafts, boating, field games, nature, hiking, family nights, overnights and more, camp is sure to be a fun memorable experience.
