Camp 2025 Theme Released!

Get ready, campers and families, for an unforgettable summer at YMCA of Long Island Day Camps! We’re thrilled to announce our theme for 2025: “Camp Life is the Best Life: Summer Exploration Starts Here!” This summer, we’re going all out, inviting every camper to dive into an adventure like never before, where the spirit of exploration fuels every activity, friendship, and memory made.

What Does “Summer Exploration” Mean?

At YMCA of Long Island, we believe in igniting curiosity and wonder in every child. “Summer Exploration” isn’t just about fun; it’s about fostering a love for learning and discovery in a supportive, exciting, and creative environment. Whether it’s through outdoor adventures, hands-on art projects, STEM challenges, or sports, each moment will be an opportunity to try something new and discover hidden talents.

Adventure Awaits: What to Look Forward To

  • New and Unique Programs: We’re excited to introduce enhanced camp activities that blend the thrill of exploration with team building and skill development. From scavenger hunts and nature explorations to performing arts and sports clinics, there’s something for everyone!
  • Special Exploration Weeks: Each week will feature a unique exploration theme, such as “Nature Quest,” “Science Adventures,” and “Cultural Voyages,” where campers will dive into themed challenges, crafts, and group experiences.
  • Outdoor Fun: Our outdoor spaces will be transformed into exploration zones where campers can learn about the environment, engage in field games, and participate in sports that promote physical fitness and team spirit.

A Summer to Build Friendships and Lifelong Memories

YMCA camp is where lifelong friendships begin. Our theme emphasizes a shared experience where campers learn together, laugh together, and build lasting connections. We’re committed to providing a safe, nurturing space where every child feels a sense of belonging and confidence to explore who they are and what they love.

Join us for the 2025 adventure, because Camp Life truly is the Best Life! Sign up early to secure your spot, and let the exploration begin.
