For all to learn,
grow, and explore.

From Camp Chandler on Lake Jordan to youth sports at Emory Folmar Soccer Complex to master-swim at Downtown — Montgomery YMCA programs bring families together across all 17 branches.

Every program at the Montgomery YMCA connects to one of the YMCA's three areas of focus — youth development, healthy living, social responsibility. Whether you're registering a 6-year-old for swim lessons, a teen for summer camp, or yourself for masters' aquatics, you're joining a 125-year-old tradition of cause-driven programs in the Alabama River Region.

Camp Chandler

Overnight resident camp on Lake Jordan since 1948.

YMCA Camp Chandler is a 250-acre resident camp on Lake Jordan in Wetumpka, AL — one of the oldest YMCA camps in the South. Each summer, kids ages 7–16 spend one to seven weeks on the lake doing what summer camp does best: swimming, kayaking, sailing, archery, horseback riding, and meeting friends from across the Southeast.

Sessions fill fast. Members get priority registration. Scholarships available — turn no neighbor away.
