Summer camp at the Y is for children of all ages!
We start children as young as 5 years old with traditional day camp, and have leadership programs for teens all the way through high school.
We have day camp programs in 11 towns across Connecticut, including: Burlington, Colebrook, East Hartford, Ellington, Glastonbury, Granby, Hartford, Plainville, Putnam, Wethersfield and Woodstock.
Our flagship day camp program is held at Camp Chase in Burlington. These dedicated camp facilities are among the very best in camp programs focusing on friendship making, new skill development, and building self-esteem.
Our other day camp programs are held at a variety of locations, including YMCA branches and schools. Each camp is unique and has something different to offer.
Financial Assistance
Financial assistance for Child Care programs is made possible through donations to the YMCA’s Annual Campaign. We require all participants who apply for Financial Assistance to also apply to Care 4 Kids. Please inquire at your local branch.

All qualified applicants awarded YMCA Financial Assistance will have awards applied to membership, youth programs, camp, and childcare if appropriate. If you decline the scholarship and wish to cancel enrollment in our program, please contact the YMCA in writing via email or mail the letter to the YMCA branch. To qualify for financial assistance, you must submit qualifying income verification as described in the Financial Assistance Application. YMCA Financial Assistance is available for membership, youth, camp and childcare programs.
For camp and childcare programs there are a few important steps:
