School Days Off - Vacation Camp
When schools are out, the YMCA’s Vacation Camp is here to save the day!
During the school year, when schools close for parent/teacher conference days, single day holidays and longer holiday breaks, the YMCA offers full-day child care at select branches so that kids have a place to play and learn.
(Notes: Pre-registration may be necessary. Dates may vary by school district so parents should check their school district calendars).
