Summer day camps at the Y give kids the opportunity to learn new skills, make new friends and have the Best Summer Ever™. Our camps are American Camp Association (ACA) accredited and focus on three of the critical dimensions of children's well-being: achievement, belonging and developing relationships while also having a fun, action-packed, safe summer! Our staffing, instruction and programs are built around the Y's core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.
Safety is our first priority for children and staff. We will continue to follow guidelines set forth by local health officials and the CDC.
This year's summer day camps will be held at Waukee Public Schools:
