New Canaan YMCA Summer Camps
Where our community’s kids have their best summer ever
There’s something about summer camp memories—the friendships we make, the skills we learn, and the confidence we build
stay with us forever. The New Canaan YMCA’s summer camps offer a variety of experiences for children of all ages and abilities. Whether your child is having their first camp experience at Camp Mini, or a traditional outdoor summer camp experience at Camp Y-Ki, or discovering their love for Artistic Swimming, they will be encouraged to grow, have fun, and make memories. Each camp
offers safe and supervised fun provided by a caring, responsible staff, and each child gains something different—new friends, learning to swim, self-confidence, independence, and leadership—all skills that last a lifetime.
New Canaan YMCA Summer Camps have provided thousands of children in our community with a camp experience they never forget. Our camps offer a variety of experiences for children of all ages and abilities, with each camp offering safe and supervised fun provided by a caring, responsible staff.
