Stratford YMCA - Stratford, CT

Summer is almost here at the Stratford YMCA!

Our Summer Camp season begins on Wednesday, June 24, and we're excited to welcome over 120 campers each day for a summer full of fun, friendships, swimming, field trips, and adventure!

As camp gets underway, please note that our Pool and Fitness schedules will have some seasonal adjustments to accommodate camp activities and programming. We encourage all members to review the updated schedules before visiting.

Updated schedules are available at the front desk and on the Y360 App.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we balance the needs of our members and campers throughout the summer. We look forward to a great season for everyone!
