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.
