Grand Traverse Bay YMCA (South)
Private
The Grand Traverse Bay YMCA runs summer day camp at 3700 Silver Lake Road in Traverse City, 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. five days a week across ten weeks from mid-June to late August. Options include a K-Camp for children entering kindergarten with theme-based enrichment, group games, sports, experiments, crafts and swimming, and a Science and Nature Camp built around hands-on science, nature hikes, wildlife observation and eco-friendly crafts. Demand is high: the Y offers about 200 slots and sold out its ten weeks in roughly ninety seconds in 2025, and registration is now online only.

Powered by GoogleI enjoy the staff. Mike Craven is always fun. Jannette always friendly and welcoming. And Carolyn a wonderful instructor and very patient. Tom is very nice too, and always very pleasant.
Torrey and Grace are wonderful. They have a variety of exercises that make this class fun. They are very positive and recognize those who are struggling providing personal help. This class works on strength, balance and coordination. I look forward to going to class every week.
Super friendly and helpful front desk personnel. Pickelball courts were well maintained and easy to keep stray balls from getting in other courts way.
Thankful to have access to racquetball courts. Clean/comfy locker room. Jeanette at front desk is a joy.
Great place for junior basketball. Easy parking and friendly staff. I wish I could afford to be a member and enjoy this nice facility. Swimming pool, running track, basketball, tennis. You name it, it is here.
