Welcome

Whether it's through singing or swimming, through nature hikes or archery, counselors at the Gaston County Family YMCA day camps have led kids in developing good values—and having fun—for more than 50 summers.

Although they may be structured differently, Gaston County Family YMCA day camps provide the same outcome: Kids have fun while they learn how to make new friends, build new skills and grow in self-reliance. Many Y camps use a natural setting to teach youth about the wonders of the world around them and how they can take good care of it. Some offer special sessions on academics, sports, arts, or teen adventure or leadership.

For kids, Y camp is a fun way to enjoy the summer. For moms and dads, it's a way to give their children a positive developmental experience. Members at the Pharr Family YMCA will be served in summer camp programs at the Stowe Family YMCA. The YMCA offers day camps to serve children ages 3 through 15.
