This recognition means even more because it comes directly from the families, supporters, and community members who experience the impact of Y programs firsthand. Every vote reflects trust from parents, joy from campers, and belief in the YMCA mission to help every child belong, grow, and thrive.

As featured in the Best in Berks spotlight, YMCA Summer Camp offers children from kindergarten through age 12 eleven weeks of enriching activities, games, leadership opportunities, themed experiences, and memorable field trips. Campers build confidence, friendships, independence, and character in a safe, welcoming environment designed to help them succeed both during summer and beyond.

At the Y, summer camp is about far more than keeping kids busy while school is out. It’s about creating opportunities for discovery, connection, and growth. Every week gives children the chance to try something new, develop lifelong skills, and feel supported by caring staff and mentors who encourage them to be their best selves.

Our staff is deeply grateful to every family who trusts us with their campers, every staff member who pours heart and energy into creating meaningful experiences, and every community supporter who helps make these programs possible. Together, we are building summers filled with confidence, belonging, and memories that last a lifetime.
