Challenger Camp

Challenger Camp

The YMCA provides today’s Youth the opportunity to grow into tomorrow’s leaders.
Challenger campers will engage in various activities throughout the summer to make new, lasting friendships while teaching them leadership and social skills that can be applied to life in and out of the YMCA. They will learn these skills through an impactful and fun summer program that includes: Outdoor Activities, Field Trips, S.T.E.A.M., and Leadership Development.

Registration for all YMCA of Snohomish County Day Camps will open in March:

March 3: Priority Registration opens for participants (and their siblings) who were enrolled in 2024 Summer Camp, and for those who are currently enrolled in School-Age Care or at Heatherwood ELC. 
March 17: Registration opens to all

For cancellations or transfers, we require written notice on a camp change form. The camp change form can be found at: Day Camp Change Form.
