OPERATION CAMP

Are you ready for OPERATION CAMP 2023?

Come SPLASH INTO SUMMER with us at the Armed Services YMCA!

We have one of the BEST summer camps around. In fact, campers return year after year from all over Hampton Roads and several neighboring states to enjoy the many field trips provided throughout Hampton Roads and weekly swimming. Engaging, interactive indoor and outdoor activities make each week a new and exciting adventure!

Worried about your child losing some of the academic skills they learned this past school year and experiencing “Summer Slide”? Don’t give it a second thought! Our counselors create a warm and inviting learning environment where all campers thrive as they participate in high-interest STREAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) activities, develop lasting friendships, practice healthy living behaviors and gain skills that promote a strong character and resilience.

Open 6:30 AM to 6:00 PM Monday thru Friday, our camp stands out! Our state-licensed facility offers:

• Trained, fully vetted staff who love working with children;
• Weekly field trips included in the weekly tuition;
• Fitness and lots of physical activity, including weekly swimming at a favorite pool;
• Healthy Breakfast and afternoon Snacks that meet CACFP requirements;
• Enriching, developmentally appropriate learning opportunities each day;
• FREE Summer Camp T-Shirt;
• and lots of FUN, FUN, FUN for everyone!

MORE THAN SCHOOL-AGE CARE

We know a child's formative years don't begin and end with the academic calendar. It's important to engage military children in focused, FUN learning opportunities throughout the summer as well. In addition to STREAM-based activities, students continue to develop socialization and resiliency skills and practice healthy living habits, through our licensed Summer Camp retreat. Activities and field trips vary according to each week's theme, and all are meant to enhance learning and to help our campers enjoy EVERY DAY that they attend the ASYMCA. 

Open 6:30 AM to 6:00 PM, our camp includes:

• • Licensed facility and trained staff;

  • Field trips;

  • Fitness & Crafts;

  • Healthy Snacks;

  • Weekly STREAM and Enrichment Activities; and

  • FREE Camp T-Shirt
