Sidney-Shelby County YMCA

SAFETY is paramount in everything we do - the safety of our children continues to be our foremost goal.

WE KNOW KIDS! After years of operating camp we’ve learned a thing or two about providing the best possible camp experience for your child and you.

FAMILIES SEND THEIR KIDS YEAR AFTER YEAR Why? Because while camp is so much fun, what kids are really experiencing are positive life lessons.

OUR TEAM Without a doubt, our extensive training creates the best possible group of counselors for your child.

YMCA Core Values of Caring, Honesty, Respect, Responsibility, and Faith are emphasized in each of our weekly sessions.
