Spring Break Camp 

Your camper will make new friends, gain confidence and expand their outlook this Spring Break. Daily themes focus on character development, collaboration, challenges and physical exercise. All camp activities are based on the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) standards, so your child will stay engaged with learning while having fun.

Summer Day Camp 

All kids deserve a great summer and YMCA Day Camps are the perfect summer destination! YMCA camps offer children a safe, exciting and memorable day camp experience. Kids have the opportunity to build self-confidence, independence and creativity, and parents have peace of mind knowing your kids are in a safe and enriching place. At YMCA day camps, kids make friends while learning the values of diversity and cooperation.

Outdoor Summer Camps at YMCA Camp Moody

Your camper can experience full-day outdoor summer day camp at YMCA Camp Moody. Nature will be our playground! If your older camper is ready to spend days outside exploring and learning, then we have your match. Campers will enjoy various, daily on-site activities: ropes course & zip line, canoeing, fishing, archery, fossil hunting, and more while making memories only the outdoors can produce.

Outdoor Camping

It’s a full-service campout! We’ll pitch your tent and bring the food, activities and fun. Spend quality time with your family on a hike through beautiful Camp Moody, try your hand at archery, and even catch some fish. We’ll have a campfire, s’mores and breakfast on Sunday morning.

“My daughter had so much fun at camp, each day when I picked her up, she wanted to stay longer. It was so nice to see my usually shy child come out of her shell at camp.”
