Summer camp session are now open for registration as the Door County YMCA began accepting participants on March 9th.
“At the Y, summer camp is about more than just a drop-off site,” said Aaron Phillips, aquatics and youth director at the Kane Center YMCA in Fish Creek. “It’s about building confidence, friendships and skills that last well beyond the summer season.”
At the Sturgeon Bay Program Center, campers ages 5–12 can participate in full-day camps featuring games, S.T.E.M. activities, arts and crafts. A half-day Camp in the Park, at the newly renovated and upgraded, Otumba Park runs 9 a.m. to noon, focusing on outdoor recreation and beach activities.

All campers receive free breakfast and lunch through the Summer Foods Program and extended care is available. Teens in seventh grade and up may apply for the Leaders in Training program.
Phillips said, “We meet kids where they are and give them choices through clubs in sports, science and leadership.”
