At Teen REACH Camp, students will learn to respect themselves and others, work out their differences, and discover the value of true friendship. Campers will also enjoy up to 10 weeks of summer fun full of swimming, sports, outdoor exploration, field trips, and more.

MEET THE DIRECTOR
Stephen Franklin leads our incredible summer camp staff team. Franklin has past experience in YMCA before and after school programs as well as our sports department. His passion for helping children and being involved in his community is unrivaled, and we are so excited to have him guiding the summer day camp experience for Y campers.
"Y camp is truly a great time for kids and it's built with our community in mind. The camp experience helps kids make important connections with their friends and peers while nurturing their educational and emotional development. Parents can rest easy knowing that their children will get to have the best summer ever!"
