Quincy and Canton Summer Day Camps

Day camp for children is the YMCA's most widely offered program nationwide. For kids, Y camp is a fun way to enjoy the summer. For families, it's a way to give children a safe, positive developmental experience.

The Quincy Branch offers two day camp locations during the summer. Our day camps serve children ages four through 14, and are located at the South Shore YMCA in Quincy (Camp Clark) and the Blue Hills Regional Technical School in Canton (Camp Blue).

Our year-round camp program director and site directors lead the staff team. Unit leaders, activity specialists, counselors, junior counselors and a fully-certified aquatic staff serve as positive role models who work together to accomplish seven program objectives. Our staff and volunteers are comprised of mature high school / college students, and adults with camping, teaching or recreational experience. All camp staff participate in a comprehensive training program. Prior to hiring, reference checks, including CORI and SORI, are completed.
