At YMCA Summer Camp...

Children are our greatest treasures and greatest responsibility.  YMCA day camp helps kids grow positively, meet healthy role models and learn good values—all while having fun.  We not only provide memories that last a lifetime, but we also assure parents that their kids are in good hands during the summer.  Day camp for youth—the most popular program offered by YMCAs—provides youngsters with a unique opportunity to connect with their peers and their community. At The Dover Foundation YMCA’s day camp, our campers enjoy a broad range of age-appropriate programs, events and activities.  In addition to all of the activities offered at our day camp, parents also have the flexibility of enrolling their youngsters during sessions that suit their needs.

YMCA After School Program

Children deserve more than just babysitting from their after school program, they deserve excitement and adventure while building a healthy spirit, mind and body.  That is exactly what the YMCA provides.  The new Totally Fit Kids After School Program allows children to spend their afternoons in a safe environment.  Children have fun in guided recreation, develop lasting friendships, and develop age-appropriate skills.  The program focuses on the fitness of each child in spirit, mind and body.  Each activity is planned specifically to help strengthen each child in one of these three areas.  Our staff model and reinforce the values of caring, responsibility, honesty, respect and faith in God as they guide children through the daily activities.

We offer 3 options for After School Care: 5- day, 3-day and year-round care. The year-round care option includes all S.O.S. days and all 10 weeks of Summer Day Camp 2008.  It breaks the cost out over 12 payments and includes 3 weeks of camp at no charge.
