Galowich Family YMCA Summer Day Camp
Summer's Cooler at the YMCA
At the Galowich 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.
