LIMITED SPACE! Join the Bluffton Family YMCA June through August for a fun-filled summer for your child! Bluffton YMCA Day Camp provides an exciting setting for your children to learn and have fun. We have a summer of fun-filled activities planned such as science, park visits, swimming, arts & crafts, games, nature walks, field trips, music, sports clinics. Quality staff will guide kids through a summer of discovery as they explore the world around them.

All activities are designed to be fun and stimulating. Campers work together in many activities which lead to the development of teamwork skills, leadership skills, and lifelong friendships. In addition, campers gain an understanding of the YMCA’s character development values of Caring, Honesty, Respect, and Responsibility.
