The Greater Austin Y believes that all children deserve safe, enriching, and fun screen-free experiences during school breaks. We offer full-day and half-day camps year round that immerse kids in engaging activities like hands-on arts & crafts, STEM projects, physical activities and games, sports, cooking, outdoor activities, socializing, team building, and more. Children of ALL ages and backgrounds will enjoy amazing times with friends, quench their natural sense of curiosity, make lasting core memories, and learn the values of respect, caring and responsibility.

Join us for exciting adventures ahead!

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.
