YMCA Camp teaches self-reliance, instills a love for nature and the outdoors, and builds character and leadership—all amidst the fun of camp mentorships and so much more. During our camps all campers cultivate values, develop skills and nurture relationships.

At Y Camp, we offer fun for every child, regardless of age, income and background. Plan your child’s day camp fun at the Y, and experience the impact we can make in your family’s life and community.

Day Camp is open to all children entering kindergarten through the age of 12. Campers are separated by grade level groups to ensure our programming is developmentally appropriate and engaging. We cannot make exceptions to this, however all camper groups will interact throughout the camp program. This will ensure that your camper gets the best camp experience possible.

The Santa Maria YMCA Day Camps give young people an opportunity to enjoy an experience that can last a lifetime!
