YMCA of Greater Charlotte Day Camp

Summer Day Camp at the YMCA of Greater Charlotte is where adventure, growth, and summertime magic come together!

Serving youth ages 2-17, our camps provide a safe, supportive place for kids to learn, play, and build lasting friendships. From classic camp fun to exciting specialty experiences, campers stay active and engaged through sports, swimming, art, music, outdoor exploration, and so much more.

With a strong emphasis on peer connection, social-emotional learning, and meaningful mentorship, every day at camp is designed to help kids discover their strengths and shine. Specialty camps give campers the chance to dig deeper into their interests, encouraging creativity, confidence, and community.

Our Day Camps span five exciting main categories: Classic Day Camp, Sports/Swim, Arts, Outdoor Adventure, and Adaptive - offered weekly across 13 convenient Greater Charlotte locations. Most programs run from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, giving families flexibility throughout the workday. Select preschool and specialty camps also provide half-day options. Three of our sites are licensed by NC DHHS and accept voucher payments.

While each camp brings its own theme and flavor, all YMCA of Greater Charlotte camps share the same commitment to helping kids learn, grow, and thrive. Every day includes movement, connection, enriching activities, and opportunities that inspire achievement - because at the Y, summer is just the beginning of what kids can become.
