School Breaks & Holidays

THE VALLEY OF THE SUN YMCA’S SCHOOL BREAKS AND OUT OF SCHOOL PROGRAMS FOCUS ON SOCIAL & EMOTIONAL LEARNING AND ACADEMIC ENHANCEMENT. While school is out many parents still have to work. Finding the right childcare option is essential. The Y is here to provide an engaging day for your child. We offer camp experiences during out-of-school days and school breaks. Your child will enjoy their out-of-school days building friendships through group games, STEM projects and more! A focus on social and emotional learning is infused in all activities as caring and qualified staff strive to build confidence and resilience in all youth. We would love to have your child join us for a “day off” they won’t forget! Licensed programs accept DES. The Adventures and Teen programs are NOT licensed by the state of Arizona and operated under AZ revised statute  36-884.6

  • Save a Payment Method on File – A card must be on file to cover any remaining copays or late fees. (Even if your copay is $0, this step is required to complete registration.)

All participants will be charged $0.10 per week upon registration. This amount will be applied as a credit toward their first week’s copayment once approved. If a child does not have a copayment, the $0.10 charge per week will be refunded.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at [email protected] or call 602-212-6019.
