YWCA Cambridge Summer Day Camps have been an essential summer destination for girls and boys in Cambridge and the surrounding area for over 50 years. Located in the natural setting of Shade's Mills Conservation Area – a thriving ecosystem close to home – our camps focus on outdoor activity and the environment. With a variety of week-long camps to choose from, there's something for everyone.

Environment-Focused The beautiful natural setting of Shade's Mills Conservation Area lends itself well to activities focused on nature and the environment including hiking, nature crafts, canoeing, fishing and swimming. YWCA Camp staff work with Grand River Conservation Area staff to deliver fun and educational, environment-focused programming.

Affordable Subsidized spaces are available to ensure that all children can enjoy camp.

Accessible An Inclusion Facilitator is available to ensure that children who need a little extra support can enjoy camp.

Healthy Development As a High Five® registered camp, our programs integrate essential principles of healthy child development, including caring adults, friends, play, mastery, and participation
