YMCA School-Age Programs are all about fun, games, encouraging individuality and building strong, confident, healthy kids. Participants are exposed to new experiences and different cultures and enjoy creative projects and tons of fun while in our before and after school programs, school day off camps, kids nights out and more. Whether it’s time for homework help, exploring science themes, having outdoor adventures or creating group art projects, the Y believes in safe, supportive programs that foster a community within the school.

PLUS! Families that sign up for select plans will receive a free family membership to the Y ($1,089 value).
