The Family YMCA strives to provide programs that are sensitive to the individual needs of children, and age-appropriate learning experiences that help each child develop to their fullest potential. Specifically, our program offers children a base of warmth, security and continuity provided by caring, qualified staff. Our low staff to child ratios allow for active engagement of all children, which fosters a sense of acceptance and a positive self-image within each child. The design of our program permits freedom within set limits; that have been established and agreed upon by both staff and children.
YMCA Winter/Spring Break Camps (Grades K-6th)
Day camps are offered during the Los Alamos School District’s winter and spring breaks. Camps run from 7:30am - 5:30pm, and are held at the main YMCA facility on Iris St. Children enjoy a variety of activities, in a wellsupervised environment, with a staff to child ratio of 1:15 or better. Two healthful snacks are provided each day; children must bring a lunch from home. Fees vary according to the number of days the child is enrolled. Registration is generally available one month prior to the start of camp. Contact the YMCA for specific dates for the 2008-2009 school year.
