University City YMCA

At the University City YMCA Summer Camp, kids are encouraged to dive into the world of sports while building life skills that will stick with them long after the summer sun sets. Located on Old Mallard Creek Road in Charlotte, this camp offers more than just a chance to burn off energy—it’s a place where children can discover their strengths, learn new values, and build confidence. The camp’s focus on general sports means that every day is packed with opportunities to try new activities, from soccer to basketball and everything in between. Whether your child is already an athlete or just starting out, there’s something for every skill level. But it’s not all about competition here. The YMCA believes in fostering positive behaviors and teaching important life lessons through play. Campers will learn teamwork, respect, and perseverance—values that will serve them well both on and off the field. What makes this camp special is its focus on helping children explore their individual talents and interests. Every child is different, and at University City YMCA, they’re given the space to grow at their own pace. It’s a supportive environment where kids can feel safe trying new things, making friends, and discovering what makes them shine. If you're looking for a summer camp that balances fun with personal growth, University City YMCA might just be the perfect fit.
