Turn a day off school into a day full of fun!

PD Days don’t have to disrupt your routine. YMCA PD Day Camps offers a full day of supervised, activity-packed programming for kids ages 4–12 on non-instructional school days throughout the year — keeping them active, happy, and learning while you’re at work.

With indoor and outdoor games, sports, arts and crafts, and recreational activities led by our experienced camp staff, it’s a day your kids will actually look forward to.

Registration is per day. Sign up as PD Days are announced throughout the school year.
