Welcome to CJ Sprouts

Camp Jorn YMCA’s CJ Sprouts program introduces children ages 5–6 to the joy of camp in a safe, welcoming, and developmentally supportive environment.

Designed as a stepping stone to Day Camp, Sprouts focuses on hands-on learning, outdoor play, and nurturing friendships — all under the care of our trained and compassionate staff.

Each week features a new theme, blending creative projects, nature exploration, swimming, games, and music to keep camp exciting and engaging. Sprouts return home each day full of stories, smiles, and new skills they can’t wait to share.
