YMCA of Metro Atlanta Opens Registration for 2025 Summer Day Camps

Staff Report From Georgia CEO

Thursday, March 20th, 2025

The YMCA of Metro Atlanta today announced it has opened registration for its 2025 summer day camps, providing children with a summer of adventure, learning and personal growth. Families can now sign up online or in person at any of the Y’s 18 locations across metro Atlanta. 

YMCA summer day camps provide a safe and engaging environment where children can build confidence, develop character and stay active. With a variety of programs tailored to different interests, campers learn independence, gain self-esteem and embrace the Y’s core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.  

The Y offers both traditional and specialty camps. Traditional camps include games, outdoor exploration and indoor learning experiences . Specialty camps provide opportunities for kids to explore their passions in areas like cooking, basketball, drama and STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics), helping them develop new skills and discover talents.

“Our summer day camp programs are designed to keep youth engaged while fostering friendships, curiosity and a love for learning,” said Lauren Koontz, president and CEO of the YMCA of Metro Atlanta. “We take pride in offering programs that build confidence, independence and personal growth, empowering kids to reach their full potential.”

Camps are open to children ages 5-15, with preschool camps available at select locations. Programs run Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., with additional Pre-Camp and Post-Camp options for families needing extended care.
