Every season, the Sylvan Adams YM-YWHA introduces new opportunities for children to thrive, learn, and explore. We offer five exciting camp experiences that cater to various interests, needs, and seasons: Y City Camp, Y Inclusion Camp, Wolves Basketball Camp, and our sleepaway adventure in the Laurentians, YCC (Y Country Camp). 

Plus, this year we have added J-Force Gymnastics Camp at YCC!

“At the Y, we believe in the transformative power of summer camp to inspire, educate, and empower young minds,” says Jeff Bicher, CEO at the Sylvan Adams YM-YWHA. “With our diverse range of programs in each camp, we strive to provide every child with the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive in a safe and supportive environment. Whether they’re honing their basketball skills on the court or exploring the great outdoors, our camps offer a unique blend of fun and learning that fosters personal development and creates lifelong memories.”
