This summer, as it has for decades, the 92nd Street Y offers a number of excellent summer camps to nearly 1,500 school-aged children of all backgrounds, interests and needs. From Camp Yomi, the Y's flagship camp, perfect for children entering Kindergarten through 4th grade, to specialized camps for the developmentally challenged, artistically inclined or sports savvy, 92nd Street Y camps give children an opportunity to grow physically, socially, emotionally and intellectually.

The attentive staff and specially trained counselors help provide campers with a memorable summer through creative programs offering exciting learning experiences and rich memories that can be taken with them throughout life.
