What makes YMCA Day Camping different? Four words: honesty, respect, caring and responsibility. Every camper will be involved daily in character development activities appropriate to his/her age. At a time when our society shows great concern for the modern family and the development of values and character in our children, YMCA day camping stands, as it has for over a 100 years, for a place in which to address these issues. Your child can learn to play sports or do arts and crafts anywhere. At YMCA Day Camp in addition to teaching skills, we work with children to clarify values which will last a lifetime.

Summer time is Y time! Whether you're looking for traditional day camps, or weekly specialty camps that focus on sports, arts, or other activities, the YMCA is the place. Our camps feature weekly themes, field trips, arts and crafts, songs, games, and much more. Located at schools and the YMCA in Pomona and Diamond Bar, day camps begin the week after school gets out, and run all summer long. For generations, YMCA Summer Camps have provided children with memories that last a lifetime. Having fun, making friends and building character are what all of our Traditional Day Camp, Sports Camp, Academic Camps, and Resident Camp. The also offer youth the chance to venture outdoors, learn new skills, have intriguing cultural experiences, make new friends and work with others.

YMCA activities are carefully designed for specific age groups. Your child will enjoy learning new skills with just the right level of challenge and excitement under the supervision of our well-trained staff. Day camp leaders work hard to create the nurturing, positive environment your child needs to feel secure and confident while promoting values, growth and character development—what YMCA Summer Camps are all about.

Traditional Day Camps
Each traditional day camp is age-specific (kids entering kindergarten through 9th grade) and offers youth greater challenges with every year. Activities revolve around weekly themes and include outdoor games, sports, swimming, craft projects, songs, skits and special events. Trips to local parks and highlight trips round out each week to provide campers with experiences they'll never forget!

Sports Day Camps
Sports day camps offer youth the opportunity to learn and fine-tune their sports skills during the summer. The Diamond Bar/Walnut YMCA strive to provide the best possible youth sports camps through developmentally appropriate, values-based instruction. These camps are designed to help children develop sports skills in an environment that emphasizes and rewards character as much as physical development All camps will operate from 8:30 AM – 12:00PM Monday - Friday
