Swimming is included two times per week and scheduled field trips are included for ages 5–12 during traditional camp weeks. The Counselor-in-Training program is for teens ages 13–15 and gives them hands-on experience working with campers while building leadership, responsibility, and confidence. When families register online for Summer Day Camp, they can indicate any needs their child may have and the branch will email more information and required forms.

The camp leadership includes Brittany as Camp Director, and Brittany Kuhl as the contact for the Counselor-in-Training program. The YMCA states that everyone should have the chance to be part of the Y irrespective of their financial means, and financial assistance is supported by contributions to the YMCA Annual Campaign. Inclusion and adaptive programs with trained staff and accessible spaces are available to help ensure camp opportunities for every child.

One YMCA camp parent reports that their child has attended camp for four summers, made new friends, learned new skills, and gained confidence with YMCA skills learned over the years. Another YMCA camp parent notes that counselors over the years have been wonderful to their daughter and have made a big impact on her life from an early start.
