Greetings from the M. Robinson Baker YMCA!

It's that time of year again! Summer Day Camp at the Y is right around the corner! Sign up today and don't miss the opportunity! Mark your calendars and get ready for Y-Camp! We are looking forward to another exciting experience with you at Y-Camp!

The M. Robinson Baker Y Camp provides opportunities for youth to grow, learn, and develop in a safe and fun atmosphere. Youth spend time indoors and outdoors as experienced staff lead campers in a wide variety of activities each day including arts and crafts, games, skits and songs, sports, swimming, weekly off-site field trips and theme related activities planned specifically for their age group.

At Y-Camp, we see your child as you do - as a receptive, eager individual with unique talents, skills and interests. Unlike traditional day camps, where campers are required to fit into the predetermined program, we offer your child a most unique way to spend the summer break.

Day Camp at the Y is about discovery. Campers have the opportunity to explore, find new talents try new activities, gain independence, and make lasting friendships and memories. Y-Camp campers feel safe and are celebrated for who they are and encounter experiences that help promote self-esteem, self-confidence, and self-worth. Campers experience new things, make new friends, develop new skills, and have fun along the way!

Our goals are real simple. Campers will feel safe and celebrated for who they are and will encounter experiences that will help promote self-esteem, self-confidence, and self-worth. Campers will experience new things, make new friends, develop new skills, and have fun along the way!

Our mission of building the spirit, mind, and body of all our campers is reflected in our highly qualified staff, unique activity schedule, and unsurpassed safety protocol. Here at Y-Camp, character counts! That’s why our camp focuses and uses as a foundation the YMCA’s Four Core Values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.

This summer, the Y will also do it's part to combat Summer Learning Loss by infusing several intentional initiatives geared toward reinforcing and developing academic skills sets and competencies. Through a partnership with the Oakland Public Library and engaging campers through a computer based program called Kids College, campers will find themselves immersed in fun and engaging activities that will reinforce reading comprehension and fluency and strengthen their math abilities.

This summer, our day camp program will provide 9 power packed weeks, full of quality programming from June 17, 2013 to August 16, 2013. Our power packed, fun sessions will operate out of our M. Robinson Baker facility located at 3265 Market Street in West Oakland. Camp hours are from 9:00am to 4:00pm daily. As a part of the Y’s commitment to support busy and working families, we are also providing extended care free of charge. Extended care is available from 7:00am to 9:00am and from 4:00pm to 6:00pm.

The cost of this summer’s experience is $50.00 per camper, per week. A $25 non-refundable deposit is required to reserve a space for each desired week. Camp fees include quality programming from highly trained and professional staff, access to a safe and clean facility, excursions and field trips (transportation and admission included), snacks daily, and a vast array of activities and events. Lunch will also be provided daily through our partnership with Revolution Foods
