Clark County Family YMCA Summer Day Camps
Summer is the perfect time to explore new interests and discover hidden talents. Campers will spend their day being physically active, experience success, become more confident, unplug from technology, develop lifelong skills, grow more independent, learn social skills, reconnect with nature and make friends.
Camp Intro
Children will have the opportunity to make their summer active and fun through crafts, sports, indoor and outdoor games, new friends and other fun ways to discover who they are. Although still structured, YMCA Summer Camps are more relaxed than the school routine and offer time and freedom for spontaneous play.

Kermit Camps
Ages 3-5
Camp Kermit is meant for our youngest kids who have not entered Kindergarten. We focus on short, interactive activities to keep your child's interest all day. Activities will include crafts, STEM, art and science projects, songs and a variety of games. We have a rest time in the afternoon to recharge so kids can finish the day strong.
Explorer Camp
Ages 6-10
Our program at Clark County is a fun-filled place for your child to enjoy their summer! Our focus is on having fun and making lifelong friendships. Each week we hope your kids will try something new, and gain self confidence in their abilities. We spend lots of time outdoors playing field games, and singing songs, all around our unique weekly themes. We'll also offer lots of fun arts and crafts as well as STEM activities.
Honor Bright Camp
Ages 6-12
Honor Bright is fully outdoors and gives campers the opportunity to explore the 17 acres of woods and fields everyday. This camp is perfect for any child who wants to be outside and active all day long. Honor Bright offers a variety of activities such as archery, hiking, roasting marshmallows, swimming, singing camp fire songs, and so much more! Parents beware: Your camper will come home very sleepy and very dirty each day.
Camp Honor Bright - Leaders In Training
Ages 13-15
The Leaders In Training (LIT) Program at Camp Honor Bright provides teens the opportunity to learn readily-applicable leadership skills that go beyond just camp. LITs will spend part of their time doing hands-on work at camp, such as leading games and crafts or helping camp staff with other activities. They will also learn important leadership skills such as communication, teamwork, and responsibility.
Space is limited, so we’re looking for the best applicants who complete the application and show they’re ready to grow. There is no fee to complete an application, but if selected, you’ll need to register for the LIT Summer Camp program, where registration fees apply.
For more information about the program, contact Katie Evans, Teen Program Director at the Clark County Family YMCA, at 812.288.2358 or email kevans@ymcalouisville.org.
Horizon Camps
Ages 10-14
