CAMP TUSCARORA AT THE WARLICK FAMILY YMCA
Camp Tuscarora offers a traditional summer day camp experience for campers in grades rising 1st through 8th grade. Campers stay active and engaged through outdoor play, games, and group activities in an energetic camp setting. Campers also enjoy daily water activities and opportunities to cool off, which may include time in the indoor pool and at Robinwood Lake, along with access to the gym throughout the week.
Relationships are a key piece of what makes summer day camp unforgettable, which is why we focus on the three key drivers of impact that inspire healthy youth development journeys: achievement, relationships, and belonging.
Looking for a more focused camp experience? Specialty Camps are also available at Warlick, with weekly options like sports, dance, science, creative arts, and more. Click here for more information!
