Explore our different camp options at three diverse locations: Drew University, the F.M. Kirby Children’s Center of the Madison Area YMCA, and the Y’s Family Center. For preschoolers through children entering 10th grade, campers of all ages have the opportunity to grow this summer with Quest Camps in one of our camp programs, including MiniQuest (preschool, ages 3-4), KidsQuest (entering kindergarten - grade 6), Leader In Training camps (entering grades 7 - 10), and SpecialtyQuest (entering kindergarten - grade 6).

MiniQuest Camps now provide full-day camp sessions for children ages 3 to 4 years. This longer camp day allows campers more opportunities to learn, play, and grow in a nurturing environment, constantly building on the YMCA’s Four Core Values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility. Before- and After-Care is available for MiniQuest campers.
