A Letter from the President and CEO:

Dear Parents,

Ahhh, camp. The word camp generally conjures images of art projects and playground games — of new friends and summer fun. Summer camp is still all about fun, and there are certainly plenty of new friends waiting to be discovered, but today’s camps offer so much more.

Today’s YMCA camps are so diverse, so unique, and so engaging, that the word camp doesn’t even do them justice. They are adventures; they are true experiences; they are memories in the making. You can find whatever you are looking for and a lot of things you never dreamed of at one of the hundreds of camps the YMCA offers every summer.

I invite you to review our camp descriptions to find the camp that perfectly fits your child’s interests — whether they are a budding scientist or an aspiring Olympian. Our searchable camp listings and detailed maps will help you find the perfect camp in the most convenient location. With 14 branch locations and dozens of community sites, we are sure to have a camp that is close to home.

As you review our offerings, picture your child smiling, laughing and growing as they participate in a YMCA camp. We can see it clearly already. We see it every summer, as countless children in the Washington metropolitan region experience all that a YMCA camp offers.

See you this summer!

Angie L. Reese-Hawkins

President and CEO

YMCA of Metropolitan Washington
