YMCA OF SAN DIEGO COUNTY

We focus our work in three key areas, because nurturing the potential of kids, helping people live healthier, and supporting our neighbors are fundamental to strengthening communities.

WHERE ADVENTURES BEGIN

Sign Up for Summer Camp

Day Camp & Overnight Camp

Campers at the Y learn how to be responsible and resourceful, work in groups, solve problems and make decisions that will help them grow as individuals. As a leading nonprofit committed to strengthening community through youth development, healthy living and social responsibility, the Y works to help children and teens discover their full potential by providing opportunities to learn, grow and thrive. To ensure that every child and teen has the chance to go to camp, all Day and Overnight Camps at the Y offer financial assistance to those in need. Read More.

Kids to Camp

Meet Hayley

At first glance, Hayley doesn’t appear any different than other Y Camp Counselors – her long pig-tails tied up with rubber bands, well-worn blue jeans covered in dust and a few fresh cut carrots shoved in the side of her boot – are all pretty commonplace at YMCA Overnight Camp Raintree…but there is something very special about this 21-year-old young lady.

Hayley grew up in San Diego with five siblings and a single working mother. She never really considered herself as being poor and told us that she was “used to being on scholarship for things,” so when she came to her first Y Camp on a financial scholarship at age 7, she wasn’t surprised. What did surprise her, was the impact it had on her life, and now the impact she has on others. Read more of Hayley's story. View camp photos and videos. Donate to Kids to Camp.
