Daycamps & Residential Camps

YMCA Daycamp and Residential Camps

Our Daycamp and Residential Camps deliver school holiday activities the YMCA Way.  Our unique approach brings our mission and 6 values to life, supporting each child to develop individually. The YMCA Way is underpinned by the Search Institute’s 40 Developmental Assets, which explore the influences and actions that affect and support children’s development both within and outside of the family.

Our mission is to ‘champion and add value to young lives by providing experiences that challenge, enable and develop the individual.’

For the last 35 years, the YMCA has continued to offer the best in school holiday care on our Daycamp and Residential Camps programme.  Now delivering to over 10,000 children a year in 5 different locations, our vast experience with, and commitment to, children and young people makes us the original and the best for adventure programmes in Hampshire.
