S.T.E.A.M. & Sports Summer Camp

We're running a S.T.E.A.M. & Sports combo camp at the West Family YMCA!
At the YMCA of Broome County, we’re dedicated to creating an unforgettable experience where kids can have a blast, discover new passions, and build lifelong skills. This summer, our Combo Camp offers the perfect blend of exciting S.T.E.A.M. activities and dynamic sports programming, providing kids with a unique opportunity to learn and play in a fun, supportive environment.
Throughout the camp, children will engage in hands-on problem-solving challenges, develop teamwork skills, and build confidence as they explore the world of S.T.E.A.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics). Meanwhile, they’ll also stay active and energized with a variety of sports like basketball, soccer, and other fun physical activities designed to improve coordination, agility, and teamwork.
Our mission is to foster an adventurous and inclusive atmosphere where kids can forge new friendships, grow in their abilities, and create memories that will last far beyond the summer. Let’s make this summer one to remember — full of fun, learning, and endless possibilities!
