About
YMCA of Greater San Antonio Summer Day Camps include creative play, field trips, sports, swimming activities, and use of a splash pad at certain outdoor camp locations. All camps serve children who are fully potty trained and offer a variety of structured activities throughout the day. All outdoor camps are 100% outdoors, where campers meet outside and rotate through outdoor activities, with campers brought into the branch in the event of inclement weather.
• Ages: 5–13 years old
• Schedule: Weekly day camps with options between late May and late July, generally running from early morning to early evening
• Price: $182 per week; all cancellations require a two-week notice, there is a $15 cancellation fee per week (the deposit counts as the cancellation fee), drop-in registration may be considered if space is available, summer fees are fully earned, and there are no sick or emergency credits
Campers must bring a lunch daily unless otherwise noted, and morning and afternoon snacks are provided. Lunch is provided at several sites through the USDA Summer Food Program, with specific locations listed on the YMCA website. Parents are asked to keep a regular drop-off and pick-up schedule, with recommended drop-off before 9:00 am and pick-up after 4:00 pm. Children are divided into smaller groups and spaced throughout the facility, and YMCA staff are assigned to clean throughout the day and again before children arrive the next day. Campers are asked to leave valuables such as cell phones, electronics, iPods, and trading cards at home, and for outdoor camps, water is available, there is downtime for breaks, and parents are asked to pack a refillable water bottle.
Field trip experiences start the second week of camp. At Mays Family YMCA at Potranco, swimming activities start the second week of camp and campers swim two to three times a week. At YMCA at O.P.

All staff pass background checks and are certified in CPR, First Aid, and Bloodborne Pathogens. All sites are HHS or TDH licensed. The YMCA of Greater San Antonio states its mission as putting Judeo-Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind, and body for all. The Y’s door is open to all, regardless of age, ability, faith, gender, or income, and it offers financial assistance through the Open Doors Scholarship, with most summer locations serving as CCS Vendors.
The YMCA of Greater San Antonio is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that collaborates with residents to address community needs. It has partnered with The DoSeum on a new immersive children’s environment and is assuming operational oversight of the Morgan’s Sports complex as part of a partnership focused on accessibility, inclusion, and community wellness, including breaking ground on an ultra-accessible fitness center. City Wide Facility Solutions donated $610,000 to support YMCA programs in the San Antonio area and other local YMCAs where the company operates.
Parent and member feedback about YMCA programs includes comments about friendly and helpful staff, engaging coaches in youth sports, and aquatics programming that supported one child’s progress to a competitive swim team, as shared by parents and members such as Joyce Mainz, Blair Marceaux, Jennifer Cauch, Megan Laudenslager, and Lucia Alcala. The YMCA of Greater San Antonio notes its history with the dates 1876–2026.
