Great Summers Start Here!

At McGaw Y Summer Day Camp, kids can develop skills, self-confidence, new friendships, and a sense of belonging – all while having tons of fun.

We provide a variety of choice-based “camptivities” such as archery, fishing, games and sports, arts and crafts, drama, science, swimming, field trips, and more. A McGaw Y Day Camp experience offers kids the chance to learn new things and enjoy new adventures.

This year, Summer Day Camp will take place at Dewey Elementary School. We look forward to seeing you there!
