YMCA of Greater Flint

Reimagined for the ultimate summer experience!

We are excited to announce the rebranding of our summer day camp at our Pierson Road YMCA. Camp Discovery Trails welcomes day campers, ages 6 to 12, to the Pierson Road YMCA this summer! Choose from our ten, one-week sessions filled with activities and adventures designed to foster creativity, encourage learning, promote social interaction, and build a sense of accomplishment and belonging in every child.
Campers bring their own lunches with sealed “grab-and-go” snacks to be provided each morning and afternoon.
YMCA membership is NOT required to participate.
