Summer Camp
Few environments are as special as camp.
Kids become a community as they learn both independence and teamwork through engaging physical, social and educational activities. Our camps teach self-reliance and the development of attitudes and practices that build character, leadership and friendships. It’s all done amidst the fun of sports, theater, games, outdoor adventure, talent shows and meaningful relationships. Our state-licensed Y counselors are dedicated to making sure camp is an amazing experience for every camper!
Camp is:
- FRIENDSHIP A daily dose of social interaction helps build friendships that last lifetimes.
- SKILL DEVELOPMENT Curiosity, exploration and discovery of a wider world brings out brainpower!
- FITNESS Hours upon hours of healthy outdoor activity!
- SELF-CONFIDENCE Campers grow emotionally by being their best selves.
- SAFETY Our state-licensed staff maintains public health protocols.

Club Cardinal
In partnership with Sun Prairie Parks, Recreation and Forestry, this camp works as wrap-around care during the weeks of summer school and as full-day camp when summer school isn’t in session. We’ll fill our days with projects, activities, games, swimming and field trips and engage and motivate campers to make new friends, enjoy nature and continue learning throughout the summer.
This camp is for ages 5-13.
Location: Monday-Thursday drop-off and pick-up during summer school weeks will be at your summer school location, and the program will run part-day from 1:00-5:30 pm. On Fridays and non-summer school weeks, it will be at Creekside Elementary from 7:30 am-5:30 pm.

Verona Summer School Camp
In partnership with the Verona Area School District, the YMCA is excited to offer a half-day camp during summer school. It amounts to full-day care for your kiddo, and we can’t think of anything better than some fun in the sun after learning in summer school! Campers will participate in group activities, create and experiment with art, learn new skills and create lasting memories and friendships. Campers must be enrolled in VASD summer school programs to attend.
Registration for this camp will open the same time that VASD opens summer school enrollment on April 7. If you would like to secure your spot you can register for these dates in our DDC program and then we can transfer the registration to this camp once it opens. Be sure to send an email to Peter saying you would like to switch your enrollment from DDC to the Verona Camp.
Location: Campers will be bussed from summer school to the Y’s camp location at Stoner Prairie Elementary. Pick-up is at the camp location by 5:30 pm each day.
