Make the Most of Days off of School
There is no better way to spend a school holiday than with the YMCA! We make the most of time off from school by packing days full of fun camp activities for kids of all ages and interests, including arts and crafts, group games, active play, and STEM projects. The Y’s School Break and No School Day Camps are designed to keep kids engaged and having fun while learning and spending time with friends old and new.
These programs are just for families enrolled in the Y's Before and After-School Enrichment. Registration is opening soon!
