YWCA of Queens

One of our most important programs is the YWCA of Queens Summer Day Camp. Since 1987, the Summer Day Camp has been a reliable and unique program for children to acquire leadership and academic skills, and make many friends during their summer break. We focus on developing the whole child through programs that support children’s social, emotional, physical, and intellectual development.

We do this by designing programs that help youths develop communication skills, engage in problem solving, and learn through critical thinking. Every camper enjoys our weekly themed trips, and enhancement classes, such as Dance, Computers, Music, and Arts & Crafts.

And year after year, we look forward to seeing returning campers back at the YWCA for another fun and enriching summer. The program finishes off with a special presentation and a book fair for everyone to view and enjoy.

Observing the NYC Department of Education calendar, the midwinter and spring vacation camps are mini versions of summer camp. Offering a break for both parents and children, these camps run a week long with various enriching activities and optional extended hours.
