Jeep Rogers Summer Camps
TRADITIONAL DAY CAMP (ages 5-12)
At Jeep Rogers Family YMCA Summer Camp, every week is a new discovery. Each session features an activity-packed theme where kids explore arts, sports, science, and the outdoors while building lifelong friendships. This is more than just summer fun—it’s where your child will grow, connect, and find their next great adventure.
Our camps offer a supportive space where swimming, sports, and outdoor games spark joy. Hands-on STEM and creative arts build new skills, while weekly field trips create unforgettable experiences that grow confidence.
