Day Camp at Camp Carter is a great way for youth to experience the outdoors and make new friends!  Day Camp weekly themes are designed to encourage campers to come enjoy the outdoors, while making new friends, gaining self-confidence, challenging themselves to new activities and to thrive in a natural environment.  We embrace the power of Yet and help them understand that they may not know how to do that skill or activity “yet” but we help our campers by encouraging them to continue to try and not give up.  Day Camp is for campers between age 5 that have completed Kindergarten thru age 12 years old who want to develop new skills, try new activities such as archery, hiking, nature crafts, survival skills, canoeing and much more!   All Day campers at YMCA Camp Carter are also served a home-style lunch in the Camp Carter Dining Hall and receive a late afternoon snack.
