Youth Camps

UREC Youth Camps and Programs offer year-round fun, learning, and adventure! From action-packed Summer and Spring Break Camps to exciting individual day camps and our popular Parents' Night Out events each month, there's always something to look forward to. Every program is filled with engaging activities like themed weeks, swimming, climbing, crafts, movement classes, and on-campus field trips—designed to keep kids active, creative, and having a blast in a safe, supportive environment. Whether just for a day or an entire week, your child will leave with new skills, friends, and great memories!

UREC Youth Camps and Programs are for children aged 5-12. Advanced registration is required, as capacity is limited. Registration closes on the Wednesday before the week of camp. Additional safety measures are in place for campers and staff. To register, click the link below!
