Teen Leadership programs are a hallmark of the YMCA. We believe this is the age to join your peers and experience opportunities to deepen your interests and understanding of the importance of becoming a leader!
y teen summer camp
Join the Y Teen Camp this summer! Teens will engage in challenging and fun learning experiences designed to spark their curiosity, strengthen their confidence, and equip them with leadership skills. Participants will partner with the Y staff to plan daily activities and field trips based on their interests. They will also explore Youth Voice, Volunteerism, Art & Social Justice, Youth Leadership, and more. Teens attending the camps form lasting bonds while connecting with peers in group projects, community development, and serving as role models to younger Y Summer Day Camp participants. Register today!
