SUMMER DAY CAMPS

Home>Summer Camps

FUN IN THE SUN FOR EVERYONE, ALL SUMMER LONG!

The New River YMCA Summer Day Camps offer full-day programs at three elementary school locations in Onslow County. These camps provide kids with the opportunity to discover new talents, explore exciting interests, and build lasting friendships. Activities include a wide range of indoor and outdoor games, arts and crafts, sports, and thrilling field trips. Campers will also enjoy trips to the Aquatic Pool facility on base!

Important Registration Note:
When registering your child, please select the program based on the grade they will be entering this fall (2025–2026 school year). This is their rising grade level. For example, if your child is currently in 2nd grade, they will be a rising 3rd grader and should be registered for the 3rd/4th Grade (BRAVO) program.

Our camps are open to children entering 1st through 6th grade in the 2025–2026 school year (ages 5–12). To be eligible for camp, children must have completed Kindergarten.

We also offer a Middle School CIT (Counselor in Training) Program for rising 7th through 9th graders, available exclusively at our Clyde Erwin location.
