Dedicated to Today's Youth

We believe that kids deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve. That’s why, through the Y, millions of youth today are cultivating the values, skills, and relationships that lead to positive behaviors, better health, and educational achievement.

Focusing on Healthy Living

In communities across the nation, the Y is a leading voice on health and well-being. We bring families closer together, encourage good health, and foster connections through fitness, sports, and fun. As a result, millions of youth, adults, and families are receiving support, guidance, and resources needed to achieve greater health for their spirit, mind, and body.

Day Camp

Do you know what a Hip Pocket Game is? Ever heard of Ouch My Toes or Kings & Queens? Have you ever had a Q-Tip War? At YMCA of Riverside City & County Day Camps you can learn about these and many other fun things. Offering 4 locations during the summer vacation time, the YMCA of Riverside strives to offer a Day Camp experience superior to any other provided in the area. With both weekly field trips & swimming trips the children are afforded the opportunity to get out and experience their world around them as well as explore the entire world from within the camp setting through games and activities that stretch across themes, cultures, and countries. YMCA Day Camp is offered at Hope Lutheran in Riverside, the Jurupa Family YMCA in Jurupa Valley, Sunnymeadows Elementary in Moreno Valley, and Mesa View Elementary in Romoland. Our Day Camps are both licensed childcare facilities and American Camping Association accredited Day Camps with all staff fingerprinted prior to employment. Camp runs in weekly session which the activities and many of the Field Trips are structured around. With the weekly sessions you are able to come a week at a time allowing for travel and other fun summer activities or you can come the entire summer.

A typical week at camp includes learning new games & activities both in the classroom & outdoors, arts, experiments, science, crafts, group games, and much more. That’s not to mention the AM & PM snack or the biggest kid attraction, the Field Trips. Currently field trip planning includes the LA Science Center, Natural History Museum, San Diego Safari Park, Sparks Basketball Game, Knott’s, Soak City, & more. Join us for a week, a month, or the entire summer- you won’t be disappointed you did!
