Summer Day Camp
endless summer! Endless fun!

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.

INTRODUCING OUR MANAGEMENT TEAM:
Kelly Barrie, Camp Director
My name is Kelly Barrie and I have the honor of being the new Camp Director for Mission Valley and Toby Wells YMCA. A little history of myself, I graduated from the University of San Diego with a major in Elementary Education, minor in leadership and nonprofit management. For the past 10 years I have been working with children from all over the world. My experience includes working overseas for Camp Adventure and directing youth programs for Royal Caribbean Cruise Line. After traveling to over 50 countries I am very excited to return to San Diego and be apart of the Y family. Parents please note if you are looking to chat with me I will most likely be playing outside.
Looking forward to a summer full of high energy and unforgettable memories!
Lucas Matkowski, Assistant Camp Director
Greetings camp families! My name is Lucas Matkowski and I have been involved in the camp program for most of my life. I started as a camper, grew as an L.I.T., and worked as a camp staff. I graduated from San Diego State University in May 2012 with a degree in communications, and I am excited to share my camp knowledge with each and every camper and family this summer. Whether it is singing songs in the camp field, doing arts and crafts at the tents, or exploring all that San Diego has to offer, it is my sincerest hope that myself and this program can help our campers both grow and have fun this summer!Our campers and families have spoken, and we have listened!
