Summer's Cooler at the YMCA
At the C.W. Avery Family YMCA, we provide a safe, affordable and fun summer day camp program for youth and teens. YMCA Summer Day Camp offers kids a chance to have fun and develop new friendships while building a healthy spirit, mind, and body. Campers will enjoy up to ten weeks of summer fun full of swimming, sports, outdoor exploration, arts and crafts, and more. All participants must wear a mask.

Meet Our Director - C.W. Avery Family YMCA Location
Shannon Stawikowski started her career at the YMCA in 2013 and has shined bright as our summer camp guru. She coordinates the nonstop fun that our campers experience each year, and her positive energy and creative mind make every summer the best summer ever.
"I love to see all the fun programs we organize come to life. I enjoy watching our Y families have a great time and seeing how our programs affect our community in such a positive way."
Meet Our Director - Valley View School District Locations
Sarah Porzel is a camp mastermind having spent the last 11 years working with children in YMCA Summer Day Camp. She is excited to help launch our new camp locations in Bolingbrook in Romeoville and can't wait to get know the wonderful families in the community.
"To me, the Y is a safe and comfortable place for children, so I like to be positive and build a connection with each of the kids in our programs—including getting to know each of them by name. We also have a ton of support from our community, which helps make a lot of what we do possible."
