Summer Day Camp


Mission Valley YMCA has been offering outstanding summer camps for over 30 years. We believe that each child is a unique individual with his/her own rate of development. Our goal is to introduce children to as many new experiences as possible and help each child feel confident and secure in a fun, safe camp environment. YMCA Day Camps challenge children to grow in imagination, creativity, self directed initiative, and leadership.

We are dedicated to changing the lives of our campers by creating friendships and memories that will last a lifetime. All of our YMCA Day Camps have been accredited by the American Camp Association. Our day camps exceed the highest standards in camping services including health, safety, personnel, transportation and facilities. For more information regarding ACA standards please visit www.acacamps.org.
