About YMCA Summer Day Camps
The Alamance County Community YMCA offers summer camps open to children in kindergarten through eighth grade. Our camps run from 7:30am until 6:00pm, Monday though Friday. There are three camps to choose from: Camp Horizons, held at the YMCA and Camp Frontier and Camp Outback, both held in Snow Camp. At all camps, we provide a safe atmosphere for children to develop physically, mentally and spiritually. Our campers are taught the YMCA core values of Caring, Honesty, Respect, Responsibility and Faith and put these into practice each day. Our programs are led by a qualified, energetic, and responsible staff of adults, college and high school students, under the direction of full-time YMCA director. Our summer camp also provide an environment for children to make new and life long friendships. As with all YMCA programs our mission is... "To put Christian principles into practice through programs that build a healthy spirit, mind and body for all."
