Day Camp
A Year-Round Camp Experience for Kids Ages 5-11
At YMCA NWLA, Day Camp gives kids ages 5–11 a safe, active, and engaging place to grow. Whether it’s summer vacation or school breaks like Fall Break, Thanksgiving, Christmas/Winter, or Spring Break, campers enjoy hands-on fun, new friendships, and supportive staff. Children are grouped by age so activities stay meaningful and developmentally appropriate.
Camp Hours
We offer flexible scheduling to support families. Early drop-off begins at 7:00 AM, the main camp day runs 9:00 AM–4:00 PM, and late pick-up continues until 5:30 PM. Campers stay active throughout the day with a variety of guided activities and plenty of opportunities to play, create, and unwind.
What To Expect
Every day feels fresh, fun, and balanced. Campers participate in arts and crafts, sports, swimming, STEAM projects, outdoor play, and team-building activities—all held on-site for consistency and safety. Days begin with a group welcome, move through morning and afternoon activity rotations, and wind down with relaxed stations before pick-up. Our staff create an encouraging environment where kids can explore their interests and build confidence.”
Registration & Payment
Families can register online or in person. YMCA members receive a discounted rate, and payment at registration secures your child’s spot. Because many of our sessions fill quickly, early registration is recommended. Pricing details can be added whenever you’re ready.
What to Bring
Campers should arrive with a backpack containing a cold lunch, refillable water bottle, sunscreen, hat, and tennis shoes. On swim days, please include a swimsuit, towel, and a change of clothes. Labeling items helps keep everything organized throughout the day.
