The Benefits of Y Summer Day Camps Kids enrolled in summer day camps at the Y enjoy a variety of imaginative activities that nurture their spirits, challenge their minds and strengthen their bodies — all while learning about themselves and the world around them.

Enjoying summer fun such as sports, swimming and arts and crafts, all led by caring staff, children at Y day camps learn the importance of healthy choices and active lifestyles while developing teamwork and leadership skills.

make healthy choices; water is our drink of choice to provide proper hydration and our snacks include fresh fruits and vegetables and are monitored for sugar, fat grams and calories from fat. Kids stay active at Y camps with games, sports, swimming and plenty of outdoor physical activity to encourage a healthy lifestyle.

Y Summer Day Camps are for Everyone We believe every child should be given the opportunity to experience YMCA summer day camps. That’s why we offer over 40 camp locations throughout Jefferson, Oldham and Bullitt Counties. Reduced program fees and financial assistance are available for those who qualify.

YOUTH DEVELOPMENT: Nurturing the potential of every child and teen At the Y, we believe that all kids deserve the chance to discover who they are and what they can achieve, and that the values and skills they learn early are vital building blocks for quality of life. With our four core values of Caring, Honesty, Respect and Responsibility as our guide, we work with your children every day to help them have fun while realizing their potential.

At Y summer camps, kids learn to share, make new friends, learn new skills and most importantly, learn how to be themselves.

HEALTHY LIVING: Improving the nation’s health and well-being We give kids the opportunity to exert energy, discover who they are and what they can achieve, and be accepted among each other. We help children learn to

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY: Giving back and providing support to our neighbors We make sure all children feel welcome at Y summer camps and have the opportunity to make new friends and celebrate diversity by working together and supporting each other. We encourage learning about caring for the environment and provide opportunities for community service.

Safety is our number one priority. Your child will be supervised 24 hours a day by our devoted staff and will have access to our health center and on-site registered nurses. At Camp Piomingo, we select only the most qualified staff from the US and abroad through an extensive interview process and background check to ensure your child’s safety and personal growth.

Equestrian Programs

Our one week Equestrian program is for new or beginner riders. In daily lessons, your child will learn basic horse care, riding skills and stable management.

“ Piomingo is a place where you can make friends and be yourself.”

– Camper

In our two week program, your camper will have more time to develop their skills and will even help plan and ride on an overnight trail experience, and be able to sleep under the stars with their horse.

Your camper can even bring their horse to camp to let it enjoy the fun with them! Our equestrian staff are certified riding instructors by the Horsemanship Safety Association.

STAYOVER

The Stayover Program allows campers age 7 – 16 to extend their stay for multiple sessions.
