The YMCA Difference

Values and experience. That is what makes the YMCA different.

All of the YMCA’s summer camps are designed to teach and instill our core values: caring, honesty, respect and responsibility. Through unique experiences and engaging activities, children will learn values, make friends and create memories. 

The YMCA has been providing magical experiences and lifelong memories at its summer camps for close to 150 years. Countless friendships have been formed and lots of new passions have been developed at YMCA camps in the greater D.C. region. With a wide range of experience in camp development and administration, the YMCA offers everything from the newest specialty camps to beloved traditional camps.

Our counselors are more than fun activity leaders. They are role models who promote positive values, build self confidence, and provide a strong foundation for a lifetime of learning.

When planning your child’s summer, turn to the region’s most trusted source: the YMCA. The YMCA has something to interest and inspire every child. As a parent, you can be sure that your child will make priceless summer memories in an environment that promotes strong values and a love of learning.

The YMCA has principles and lots of practice. Join us this summer and experience the YMCA difference.
