Summer Day Camp
Entering Grades 1 – 6
Our purpose at Day Camp is more than the supervision of children. It is teaching children to live and work together while fostering self-esteem in this amazing outdoor environment. Day Camp is a wonderful way to experience the fun and excitement of traditional summer camp and be able to share the day’s stories with family each night. Campers will participate in archery, arts and crafts, hiking, nature activities, climbing tower, field games and believe it or not, much more! (Day campers do not ride horses except during Session 9). Daily activities will include morning chapel focusing on one of the YMCA's values, as well as the opportunity to swim with friends every afternoon.
Lunch is served outside daily in the picnic grove, and campers also receive a snack at the end of the day. Our staff-to-child ratio is 1 to 10.
We provide daily bus service from Northeast Portland (Alameda Elementary School, 2732 NE Fremont Portland, OR 97212) Gresham (Gresham United Methodist Church at 8th and Norman Street) and the Clackamas area at the North Clackamas Aquatic Center (7300 SE Harmony Road). Supervision begins at 7:30 a.m. and ends at 6:00 p.m.

Pricing Guide
Realizing that families have different abilities to pay, YMCA Camp Collins uses a three-tier rate structure for our summer camp programs. Please take a moment to look at the rate descriptions below and choose the rate level that is most suitable for your family. Each year Early Bird rates typically apply through end of year.
Rate One
Based on the actual cost of camp for one child to participate. Includes expenses for staff, maintenance, food and supplies.
Example
$275.00 $245.00 $215.00
Rate Two
Our partially subsidized fee for those families who can pay a little more, but still can't afford the actual cost of camp.
Example
$275.00 $245.00 $215.00
Rate Three
Our standard subsidized fee. This rate does not reflect the true cost of operating sumer camp programs.
Example
$275.00 $245.00 $215.00
This program is voluntary and in no way influences the experience children receive, yet it offers the opportunity for families to take an active role in supporting the true cost of their child's camp experience.
