JOIN US FOR Y CAMP
You must be a Y member to register for Y Day Camp, but membership gives you so much more than just access to day camp - you also get unlimited, healthy fun at the Y all year long for your whole family! It's a win-win!
Because many families enroll in overnight camp from outside of Maryland, Y membership is encouraged but not required to participate at Y Overnight Camp locations.
