Where Memories Are Made and Confidence Grows

For over 60 years, the Maui Family YMCA has created unforgettable camp experiences that help kids grow in confidence, make new friends, and build lifelong skills. Whether it’s through games, swimming, singing songs, or learning new activities, our Day Camp Programs are designed to support the whole child—spirit, mind, and body.

Our camp counselors serve as positive role models and mentors who guide campers through engaging, age-appropriate activities in a safe, inclusive, and fun environment.

What to Expect

  • Weekly themed activities and special events
  • Swimming, sports, outdoor play, and creative arts
  • Singing, dancing, skits, and team-building games
  • Character development and leadership growth
  • A screen-free, high-energy environment focused on social connection

Every child leaves camp with new experiences, new friendships, and stronger self-confidence.
