The Town of Yorktown Department of Parks & Recreation looks forward to providing Town residents with a variety of day camp programs to meet their needs.  Our camps are designed so that campers can attend a full day or a half day of camp.

All campers enjoy a daily schedule filled with different activities including art, sports, nature, entertainment and various special events.   Full Day Campers will enjoy swimming as well.  Camp staff are expected to accompany and engage campers in all activities, and will be required to accompany campers into the pool during swim sessions. Although camp is designed to be fun, working at camp is not a job for everyone.  We have a very competitive process, and all applicants who submit their completed application and references by Friday, May 10^th, 2024 will be called in for an interview.
