Summer Camps

Campers make friends while learning the values of diversity and cooperation

This summer, the YMCA of Frederick County will offer more than 40 camps, including sports, art, humanities, outdoor adventure camps, and many more! Many camps will offer swimming, games, crafts, and character development activities.

Days will be filled with:

• Fun camp activities to engage brains
• Opportunities to explore, develop new skills, and try new things
• Plenty of physical activity and games to keep bodies active

Campers will develop new friendships and have tons of fun in a safe environment that will include:

• Physical distancing
• Face mask and hygiene protocols
• Small group sizes

Mask Protocol:

As of July 1, we will use the Youth Camp guidelines set forth by the CDC:

• Indoors: All campers will wear facial coverings when indoors with the exception of eating, swimming, etc.
• Outdoors: Masks are no longer required outdoors
• All staff working with children will wear facial coverings indoors.  Vaccinated staff will not be required to wear masks outdoors, though can choose to wear them if they desire.  Any unvaccinated staff will be required to wear facial coverings outdoors.
• Any camper or staff member is welcome to wear a mask should they choose to do so.
