CAMP NOCO

BOULDER VALLEY

Join us for a fun, enriching traditional day camp experience in Boulder and Louisville — where old and new friends meet, learn and thrive. Campers will unplug, enjoy hands-on learning, try new activities, learn new skills and make new friends. We accommodate the wide variety of interests our campers have and plan activities that support those diverse preferences. Camp activities will include camp songs and cheers, hiking and nature activities, archery, gaga ball, bounce house fun, sports and games, Color Wars, STEM, arts and humanities and much more! Boulder and Louisville campers will experience two swimming trips each week along with a theme-based field trip. Enthusiastic and well-trained staff will ensure a safe and fun summer. Our YMCA day camp sites are conveniently located throughout Boulder County to ensure we have the fun covered for your camper this summer. Part-time and full-time options available.

Held at Louisville Elementary School, Mesa Elementary School in Boulder, Creekside Elementary School in Boulder and Heatherwood Elementary School in Boulder

All campers will be divided into age-appropriate camps at each site and will participate as a camp group throughout the week. There will be some all-camper activities and field trips throughout the week.

CAMP NOCO WEEKLY THEMES

Welcome to Summer!

Session 1: May 26-29

Let the summer adventures begin! We will kick off the summer doing what kids love most: swimming, exploring, making friends, being creative and soaking in the sunshine. This is a perfect preview to the summer of fun to come.

y-summer-games

Y World of Explorers

Session 2: June 1-5

We are traveling around the world in five days. All week-long campers will explore different cultures and countries through fun games, art projects, field trips and activities. We will also try new and exotic foods and even participate in the Y Summer Games. Campers will go for the gold and get tons of stamps in their Y passports.

Creative Campers

Session 3: June 8-12

Let’s get artsy, shall we? Let’s paint, make and create. During this week, our campers celebrate their artistic skills and interests (and maybe even get a little messy, but don’t worry, it’s artistic expression). We will use our hands to create masterpieces with paint, chalk, clay and other raw materials. We’ll add in some music and a field trip or two. This week will be a work of art. Swim lessons begin this week.

butterfly pavilion field trip

Welcome to the Jungle

Session 4: June 15-19

In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the campers play and explore. During this week of camp, we are going to the birds… and lions… and butterflies. Campers will spend the week enjoying animal-inspired activities, games and fields trips. It’s gonna be wild!

Survival of the Fittest

Session 5: June 22-26

We are embracing our inner competitors for this week of team and individual challenges. We like to think of it as survival of the funnest (yes, we know that’s not a word) as we try out ninja warrior courses, Minute to Win It challenges, field trips, games and more. No matter a camper’s skills — whether it be brain, brawn or beyond — we will celebrate their individual strengths and their group successes.

Islands of Adventure

Session 6: June 29-July 2

Ahoy, there friends! Shiver me timbers… OK, you get the point. During this week of camp, we are going on a treasure hunt. Captain Blackbeard buried his booty at YMCA Camp Noco but has lost the map to reclaim it. We join forces to race against other pirates to find the lost treasure. Arrr you ready?

To Infinity and Beyond

Session 7: July 6-10

5, 4, 3, 2, 1… Blast off! This week is one small step for camp and one giant leap for camper-kind. We will put on our space suits and practice our moon walk as we spend the week exploring deep space. Gaze at the stars, dive into the solar system and try to keep your boots firmly on the ground. It’s going to be a bumpy ride! Swim lessons begin this week.

science-field-trip

Weird Science

Session 8: July 13-17

This will not be your traditional science camp! Campers will unlock the wacky world of science. This will be a fun way to explore all of the mysteries and secrets science has to offer. Their lab coats are sure to be messy.

The Magical World of Camp

Session 9: July 20-24

Hop on to the Hogwarts Express as we spend the week exploring the wizarding world of magic. We will get our wands ready to conjure up spell-binding good times with activities, games, science projects and presentations. Accio summer!

slime

Ooey, Gooey, Sticky

Session 10: July 27-31

Campers will have a blast getting messy during this week of fun! Explore all things slimy, sticky, ooey and gooey. Have a passion for slime? This is a camp for you.

ADD SWIM LESSONS TO CAMP

We believe that every child needs to be safe in the water; therefore, we offer two sessions of swim lessons during the summer. We’ll take your child to swim lessons during camp. Children must be signed up for camp during the days and weeks of each session to participate. Please be aware that there is limited space. Campers need to arrive at their camp location one hour before the swim lesson begins, wearing swimsuit and 30 SPF sunscreen. Please pack a towel, goggles and a change of clothes.

Session A: June 8-26
Session B: July 6-24
