The Darien YMCA Summer Day Camp offers a variety of programs to meet the needs of various age groups and the interests of all it’s participants. Our Pre-School Camp activities are held at the YMCA site. The School-Age Camp is located at one of the local elementary schools and children are shuttled to the YMCA for various activities. Afternoon Navigators is offered as an extension to the Gymnastics Camp, as well as a great program for children attending Summer School and children who are interested in just an afternoon program.

The Darien YMCA Camp Staff believe that each summer activity not only teaches skills, but also teaches caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility; all values of the YMCA. The camp is organized and run by Darien YMCA professional directors. Summer staff members are carefully selected on the basis of their experience, qualifications and caring for children. We welcome children of all abilities.
