Something fun for every day of the break.
The holidays are a great time for kids to recharge — and Holiday Camp at the YMCA gives them the perfect place to do it.
Over four days during the Christmas break, campers enjoy a packed schedule of holiday-themed crafts, gym games, swimming, and activities led by our experienced camp staff. Whether your child is looking for something to do while parents are at work or just wants to keep the fun going a little longer, Holiday Camp is a welcoming, energetic place to spend the day.
