Camp Somewhere
Please look over the camp programs below. We have a full-day Day Camp, Overnight Camps, and Afternoon Day Camp that begins each day when the school district’s summer program ends. We are looking forward to seeing you under the summer sun or stars.
If you have any questions please contact our Camp & Sports Director, Malcom Archmabault.
SCHOLARSHIPS – If you are needing a scholarship to help with the cost of the program, please click here to learn more. The State of Oregon is still considering approving a fund to help families with the cost of summer camps, if this gets approved we will work within the parameters of the funding to provide additional assistance to as many families as possible.

Our day camp provides a safe, nurturing, and fun environment to engage the interests of all age groups. Our day camp is non-stop and our activities reinforce our core values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility. At the YMCA, we create an exciting and safe environment for kids to have an unforgettable summer of fun. Campers will spend the summer making friends, trying new things, and developing interpersonal skills. The activities that we engage campers in are hands-on and educational, but we add in a ton of fun and silliness.
A week of Day Camp Includes:
- Low counselor to camper ratio for individualized attention
- Developmentally appropriate thematic activities, such as cooking projects, science experiments, outdoor living skills, arts & crafts, and more
- Field trips and special guests
- Swim days at the YMCA facility
- Traditional camp games, sports, skits and songs
- Breakfast & Lunch provided by the USDA Summer Foods Program (available to all) and an afternoon snack provided by the YMCA
We work to spend the majority of time outside and weekly field trips will be to outdoor locations as long as wildfire smoke permits time in the outdoors. Each day campers will be assigned a “cabin” with their own counselor to guide them through the weeks themed activities. Our unique program allows campers to work with their fellow cabin mates and camp counselor to design and shape their day.
To make sure that your camper is properly prepared for each day, they should come dressed for the weather, ready to get dirty, and with a backpack filled with the YMCA’s Required 5: Lunch, Water Bottle, Sunscreen, Swimsuit, and Towel. We work with the Central Point School District Nutrition Services and the USDA Summer Foods Program to provide free lunches as an option for families, available for any income level.
Forms:
Health Form – bring this with you on the first day of the program
Daily Medication Authorization Form – Complete if your child needs medication administered, a completed form is needed each day.
