All before and after school programs will begin on August 18, 2025 to allow our staff time to close summer camps and attend school year trainings.
YMCA Before and After School Care sets out to give kids both smile-inspiring escapades and foundational experiences that help them grow. Whether it’s exploring science concepts, enjoying outdoor playtime or creating art projects, the Y provides a safe, supportive environment that focuses on learning, developing interests and making friends. We’ve teamed up with Pop Culture Hero Coalition to offer a fun and innovative curriculum focused on STEAM, art, adventure and social and emotional learning. Participants also enjoy homework help, health and wellness activities, sports and games. Daily snack provided.

NEW THIS YEAR:
We are using a new platform for emergency medical information, medication information and waivers.
Once registered, you will be sent login information from CampDoc to provide us with your emergency and medical information. This profile must be completed 2 weeks prior to your child attending camp. Some medication administration will need additional time to work with our nurse and train staff.
School Day Off Camps
K-5th graders will join the Y during school days off for swimming, sports, arts and crafts, outdoor play and tons of adventure. Students from all schools welcome.
Kids Night Out
The Y offers extended care on the first Friday of each month, so parents can enjoy a kid-free evening and kids can have their own “night out.”
Here’s What Parents Have to Say About Y After-School Care:
“When you are busy and working, YMCA After School Programs are just really helpful. The staff are really amazing to work with and super flexible. I really think after-school care is one of the best things you can do (for your child). They just have so many great experiences here. It’s another layer of play and exposure to a lot of kids.”
— Donna, mom of after-school program participant
