The YMCA of Northern Michigan in partnership with Emmet County Parks and Recreation are offering a summer day camp for northern Michigan communities. The day camp will be full of fun, educational, exciting projects, field trips, and events that kids will enjoy. 

We will continue to expand our “Counselor In Training” program in 2011, which will be available to 13 & 14 year olds who meet certain qualifications.  This program will focus on leadership skills, civic engagement and character development.

Y camp staff will reinforce the core values of caring, honesty, responsibility, and respect throughout all camp activities. Our staff is chosen for their maturity, experience, and knowledge of young campers. Our staff is first aid, CPR and lifeguard certified and work diligently to insure all campers are safe and happy.
