Summer day camp at the Y is more than just fun – it’s a launchpad for lifelong memories. It’s where kids from all backgrounds come together to build confidence, try new things, and form friendships.

Whether your child enjoys sports, arts & science, dance, swimming, or a full-day camp experience, the YMCA of Greenville is ready to help you have the best summer ever! Each and every camp week, counselors work hard to instill the Y’s core values of respect, caring, honesty, responsibility, and faith all in a safe and fun environment.

Each of the family Y branches offers different specialty camps and enrichment experiences, so be sure that your desired camp is offered at your local Y.

Your search for an overnight camp experience that blends learning with real adventure ends here. YLI Camps offers a full spectrum of camp experiences, with five distinct programs across two breathtaking South Carolina locations, so every camper can find their perfect fit.
