Summer is the time of year when children make new memories, build lifelong skills and everlasting friendships. At the Meadowlands YMCA Summer Day Camps, your child will engage in a variety of activities to develop confidence, keep them active and healthy, promote social and interpersonal skills and challenge them to try new things - all in a safe environment led by positive adult role models.
This summer our focus will be on letting KIDS BE KIDS again. After a year of isolation and distance learning we want to offer your child the chance to explore, learn, and grow!!
The fun never stops at Camp Meadowlands! This retro-style day camp includes everything that parents loved about the camps of their day. We will have opening and closing ceremonies, camp songs, arts and crafts projects, sports, music, and STEM projects. Though we won't be going off property for field trips we will be bringing the trips to camp! Every week a different fun and exciting special event will be brought onsite for your camper. These may include a petting zoo, bubble show, or carnival.
Prevent the summer slide at our Brainiac Academy! Studies show that children lose up to 6 months of math and reading skills over the summer. Help your little learner to stay on top of their game with brain boosting activities that will help them to imagine, discover, and create. Our certified teachers will guide campers through math, literacy, science, art, music, and technology lessons that are both fun and educational.

Calling all emerging leaders!! Participants in our LIT program attend group leadership workshops and receive one-on-one mentoring while also having the chance to practice these skills by working alongside our counselors and campers. LITs will assist counselors in planning and daily activities, special events, and much more. It is a unique experience that will help create leaders.
Camp drop-off begins at 8:30am and pickup ends at 4:30pm. However we know that not every family can make these times so we offer both before and aftercare for our campers. This camp add on allows campers to be dropped off as early as 7am and picked up as late as 6:30pm.
Three days a week your child can join other campers in special themed enrichment classes. The classes will go above and beyond your typical camp activities and match the camp theme of the week. Classes could include science, math, art, sports, cooking but every week the class and theme will be a surprise!
