Best Summer EVER! Camp Enrollment Ongoing!

Summer Camp at the YMCA is all for fun and fun for all!

Looking for something fun for the kiddos to do as we hit the mid-point of summer? The Burbank YMCA has 3 different camp options with something for everyone!

Camp Burbank - located directly onsite at the Burbank YMCA in Reading is our kid's choice camp! It offers 3 specialized tracks (Creative Arts, Sports & Healthy Living, or Einsteins & Engineers) and sneaks learning into fun! Swimming daily, outdoor play, and dress up days mix classic camp with hands on enrichment that the campers get to choose. Camp Burbank bring the field trips to them! From Marionette Shows to the Museum of Science, once a week the whole camp gets together for a special guest. We are all about hidden curriculum - if campers can have fun and learn at the same time - everyone wins!

Camp Quannapowitt - located at the First Parish Congregational Church by Lake Quannapowitt has a view that is only matched by the heart of this camp! Outdoor play, arts & crafts, science, sports & team building, clubs - just to name a few are what you are in store for at this camp. Campers bus to the Burbank Y for recreational and swim lessons. On Wednesdays, the whole camp goes off site for a field trip whether it be to Boston for a Swan Boat ride & Frog Pond, the Stone Zoo in Stoneham, or Plymouth for a camper favorite Pirate Cruise.

Camp Wakanda - located on Styles Pond in Boxford where you'll get a true camp experience at our only all outdoor camp! Watch as your camper steps out of their comfort zone or embraces their inner adventurer when they build their confidence in nature's classroom. Campers are in for archery, boating, ropes, arts & crafts, swim, and much more as they find a sense of belonging and build relationships to last a lifetime. Catch the last sleepover of the summer in an upcoming week! Bus stops available onsite at the Burbank Y or a town near you.
