Camp at the Y

YMCA Day Camp

YMCA Summer Day Camp is more than just summer fun—it’s where kids build lasting friendships, celebrate achievements, and discover a place they can truly belong. Every week is packed with swimming, games, sports, arts, STEM and time outdoors, plus plenty of moments to try something new.

Your child’s safety comes first in everything we do. Our counselors are trained in child protection and youth development, so you can feel good about who’s caring for your kids while you’re at work.

We keep camp affordable, with member discounts and financial assistance available for all levels of need.

The YMCA Difference

For more than 100 years, the YMCA of Greater Birmingham has been a trusted youth program provider in Central Alabama, and Summer Camp is so much more than childcare. Here, every child belongs: campers are known by name, welcomed with intention, and included for exactly who they are. Highly trained, carefully screened staff provide a safe, well-supervised environment every day, while intentional, values-based programming and daily choice-based activities help kids build confidence, character, and lasting friendships. With free swim lessons for campers who need extra help passing the YMCA swim test, families gain peace of mind knowing their child is happy, cared for, and growing in a place they trust.

 

Free Swim Lessons

The Y offers FREE swim lessons during camp for children who are unable to pass the YMCA swim test or who may lack confidence in the water.

For Working Families

Before and after care are included with your weekly rates. Drop off begins at 7am and pickup extends to 6pm.

More than Child Care

Programs are intentionally designed to support the whole child—spirit, mind, and body—helping campers develop confidence, character and healthy habits.

Leaders in Child Safety

We follow Praesidium-informed practices and YMCA safety standards that promote prevention, accountability, and transparency.

Financial Assistance

The Y offers financial assistance for all levels of need.
