With a focus on safety, health, social growth and academic enhancement, Y before and after school programs serve Kindergarteners through sixth graders (some locations up to eighth grade) with a variety of programming options to explore and develop their interests and talents. 

When school is out, the Y is IN! The YMCA offers "School Days Out" Days for children Grades K-6 (up to 8th grade depending on location) on days when school is not in session. The theme-based day of fun and adventure incorporates a variety of activities: arts and crafts, games, singing, and even free play. Dates and times vary by location based on local school district calendars. 

We offer a weekly summer program for children entering grades K-8 (age groups vary by location) The children participate in a setting which allows for: exploration, crafts, singing, games, swimming, and just plain FUN! In addition to swimming and weekly field trips, We offer a variety of Specialty Camp experiences, such as: Cooking, Karate, STEM, Art, and more!
