CHILD CARE
 Your child is discovering all kinds of new worlds. That's why at YMCA Child Care we carefully design every activity to expand your kid's imagination and encourage lifelong positive values. Their newfound confidence naturally strengthens the relationship they have with you, and that progression is at the heart of our philosophy -- good child care is good family care. We offer: field trips, nutritious snacks, age-appropriate curriculum, winter and spring break camps, experienced professional staff, half-day and holiday special events, fun-filled activities, sports and fitness activities, enrichment activities, supervised homework time, and swimming classes.
Full- and part-time YMCA Child Care is divided into specific, age-appropriate programs that provide your kids with high-quality and enjoyable experiences. For infants and toddlers, personal attention, rich sensory experiences, and a generous supply of giggles are a big part of their day. Preschoolers learn the importance of making choices, taking turns, developing language skills, and working in a group while they play games and create to the limits of their imagination. School-aged kids join in a variety of experiences including: service-learning, science, reading, and developing and practicing social skills. They gather in a safe environment that focuses on making friends, building relationships, staying active, and exercising leadership skills.

YOUTH ENRICHMENT
Counselor-in-Training (ages 14-15)
The YMCA's Counselor-in-Training (CIT) program allows teens to enjoy a hands-on training experience while learning counseling techniques. CITs will work with the camp staff to develop their "working with children" skills and receive community service hours to fulfill school requirements.
Adventure Guides
 One of the many programs pioneered by America's YMCAs, Adventure Guides is the oldest family program. This program strengthens the family by giving fathers and their children the opportunity to spend quality time together. Guides is for fathers and their 5-9-year-old sons, and Princesses is for fathers and their 5-9-year-old daughters. They are assigned to "tribes" consisting of other fathers and sons/daughters. Tribes meet once a month for crafts, storytelling, and activities that explore North American Indian lore. Tribes are part of a Nation that has monthly events, including campouts and sports events. For more information on Princesses go to http://www.thechincoteaguenationip.org/ and for Adventure guides go to http://www.thecreeknation.org/.
