Summer Day Camp
FIND YOUR FRIENDS! FIND YOUR ADVENTURE!
Summer Day Camp is a great experience for your child. Campers swim, make arts & craft projects, play games and learn valuable character values while developing lifelong friendships. Each week of camp has a specific theme with an exciting field trip to places like the county fair, Columbus Zoo, COSI and many more! Camp operates during the Wapakoneta City Schools summer break daily from 9:00 am - 4:00 pm. The YMCA also offers extended camps for parents who need childcare before or after the typical camp day. Before care runs from 6:00-9:00am and After care runs from 4-6:00pm.
