FLEXIBLE SCHEDULES
We know summer schedules can be busy and unpredictable. Families have the flexibility to register for the full  9 to 11 week season or choose only the weeks that fit their plans, whether that is one week, three weeks, or anywhere in between. This allows parents to travel or manage other commitments without paying for weeks their child will miss. 

SWIM LESSON ADD-ONS 
To make summer even easier, optional swim lesson add-ons are available during the camp day at the Kirk Family YMCA, Botetourt Family YMCA, and Salem Family YMCA locations. By building lessons into the camp schedule, families can skip the extra evening or weekend trips while ensuring their child continues developing important water safety skills.

Camp BoCo, Camp Kirk, and Camp Salem offer full-day and half-day programs for children ages 5 to 12. Camp Salem and Camp Kirk also provide half-day Kinder Camp for potty-trained children ages 3 through rising kindergarten.
