We've got summer covered

Go to Camp at the Nashua Y

Little Investigators Camp is all about building skills, developing character, and making new friends. This exciting, hands-on adventure introduces preschoolers to the wonders of learning through storytelling, nature exploration, and science discovery. Held at the Nashua YMCA, our camp provides a fun and engaging environment where young children can explore the world around them through science and play.

The YMCA of Greater Nashua Day Camps put the teaching of our Core Values at the highest priority in our programs. Campers will have fun and be adventurous while being immersed in the values of Caring, Honesty, Respect, and Responsibility.
