Day Camps in Greater Rochester, NY

Day Camp at the YMCA of Greater Rochester provides campers with an exceptional camping experience. Day campers participate in group activities, swimming, and more. Campers can take part in activities like sports, bounce pillows, arts & crafts time and so much more. Each camp, while maintaining YMCA standards, offers unique experiences. Camp Arrowhead features a high-ropes, aerial adventure course and Camp Eastside has an outdoor Rockwall, both helping campers reach new heights. Camp Bay View and Camp Glacier have direct access to Irondequoit Bay and Canandaigua Lake respectively for kayaking and canoeing. Camp Watson Woods and Camp Northpoint are located on several acres, which provides space for all types of adventures.

Summer ZooCamp immerses kids in wildlife, the environment and the need to protect and care for both, all in a unique setting: The Zoo! These week-long camps run from June 3 through August 23 with themes ranging from Junior Veterinarian to African Adventure. Campers can count on helping zoo keepers, learning about the animals they know and love, spending time outdoors, and meeting other kids with similar interests.

Half-day options are available for campers ages 5 through 9, with before and after care also available for school-age campers. Zoo members receive discounted registration. Visit senecaparkzoo.org/summercamp for more information and to register.

BayCreek's popular summer day-camp returns for 2023. Our Paddlesports Camp is four fun-filled half-days (3 hrs) of activity emphasizing the development of canoeing, kayaking, and paddleboarding skills with an emphasis on water safety, respect for the environment and, of course, FUN! All equipment, including personal floatation devices (lifevests), boats, and paddles, is provided.

At the JCC, we believe camp should be freedom from the everyday where kids can safely explore new experiences, stoke a sense of adventure and make life-lasting friendships. The days will be filled with hobbies, arts + crafts, low ropes adventures, drama, nature + hiking, athletics, music, swimming, and playground time. Registration is open for one-week sessions, July 1- August 23 for grades K-6, and LIT (Leaders in Training) for grades 7-8.

Located on our main campus, we welcome all campers into a safe community of respect and inclusion where each child is encouraged to shine. We have acres to explore, a huge zero-entry family pool and an outdoor splash pad plus a full gymnasium, theatre, playgrounds and more! We are conveniently located along the Erie Canal in Brighton.

With over 600 acres of outdoor space and 68 historic buildings and artifacts, your child will have a week of adventure!
