That’s a wrap on Summer Camp Unplugged 2026!🎉 ☀️
What a summer! From new friendships and big adventures to splash-filled days and unforgettable memories, our 1,000+ weekly campers made the most of summer.
We’re so grateful for all the campers, counselors, staff members and volunteers who made it so special.
And we can't leave out our first-ever Campapalooza, a mid-summer celebration filled with field day games, water fun and ALL the Y spirit.
Thanks for another amazing summer! See you next year!☀️
