Hours: 8:30 am – 5:30 pm
Cost: $45 per day. State subsidy is accepted. YMCA scholarships may be available.
We are pleased that we will be able to offer April School Vacation Camps in Burlington, Jericho, Georgia and Waterbury (this location for kids currently enrolled in the Y program only).
The Burlington camp will run at our St. Marks Church location, a child care hub at the corner of North Avenue and Dodds Court that we have been using since October. Jericho, Georgia, and Waterbury camps take place at the local elementary school. Please sign up using the button below.
