The YMCA Judson Community Center offers a Full Day Summer Camp for rising K5 - 5th graders, where children will learn to play new sports, make crafts, go swimming, hiking, and maybe even rock climbing. Campers will also have a chance to go on fun but safe field trips throughout the summer. Every week has a new, exciting theme, so we hope your camper is ready for all of the fun plot twists throughout the summer!
Full Day Middle School Camp is also available for rising 6th-8th graders. Get ready for a summer filled with laughter, friends, and unforgettable memories! Middle School Camp is the perfect next step for your middle schooler to begin to learn responsibility, build character, and boost confidence. This camp offers a space where youth from all backgrounds are welcomed and encouraged to be themselves. Through a variety of different weekly outings, campers will participate in activities, engage in sports, and go on field trips all over Greenville. We hope to see your camper at the Y this summer!

Camper Parents: When registration opens, please pay the registration fee of $50 (per child) to ensure your spot is reserved. After you register, you will receive communication regarding the financial assistance that has been awarded. This will then be applied to your account creating the balance due for the summer. The remainder of this payment will be due by June 5.
